What if Birthstone – Navratna – Gemstone is broken or develops a crack? – Is it good omen or bad?

Breaking of birthstone or Navratna or gemstone is considered a bad omen in Hindu astrology. A broken or cracked birthstone should be discarded.

As per astrology, a cracked stone indicates that the bad planet or period is very powerful. Various other methods should be attempted to overcome the influence of the bad planet.

But if the stone was worn for desire fulfillment then crack on it indicates that the desire will not be fulfilled with the particular stone. You will need to look for a more powerful option.
