Diamond is the most precious and desirable gemstone in the world and is also the hardest natural material on Earth, ranking 10 on the Mohs scale. Diamond is composed of pure carbon and is formed deep inside the Earth under extreme temperature and pressure over billions of years.
In Vedic Astrology, Diamond represents the planet Venus (Shukra), the most benefic planet associated with love, luxury, beauty, relationships, wealth, creativity, and comfort. Diamond is one of the Navratna gemstones and is also the Birthstone for the month of April as per
Western astrology.
Diamonds are admired worldwide for their brilliance, fire, and unmatched lustre (Adamantine lustre). Though worn globally as luxury jewelry, in India diamond is also worn for astrological benefits when Venus is weak or afflicted in the horoscope.
