Uparatnas: Alternative Gems

Vedic astrology emphasizes the importance of clarity (degree of flawlessness) over color and kind of cut.
Therefore, it is more auspicious to wear an eye clean uparatna than a main gem of inferior quality, with
visible, large, distracting inclusions or even translucent.
