Ruby (Manik) Stone Guide

Ruby, also known as the ‘King Of Gems' or Ratnaraja in Sanskrit, is a precious gemstone of the Corundum family. It comes in various tones of red, ranging from deep pinks to intense reds, and is loved for its pure red hue, often referred to as “Pigeon’s Blood color.” Rubies are known to embody the Sun’s power and glorious light.

These gems are colored by chromium and exhibit internal fluorescence when exposed to light. Their vivid red color is captivating and is believed to have benefits for health and relationships.

In Vedic astrology, rubies, or Manik in Hindi, are recommended for success in businesses, jobs, social status, authority, and self-confidence. They are associated with the Sun planet, symbolizing leadership, confidence, and motivation. Ruby is beneficial for people in government jobs, senior positions, or business. It also aids those with low confidence and self-esteem.

Rubies are considered the birthstone for the month of July and work magically to keep their wearers out of harm’s way.

Ruby gemstones vary in price, with quality factors like color, clarity, cut, and shape influencing their cost.

When wearing a ruby, it is typically placed on the ring finger of the dominant hand, with the gemstone touching the body, or worn as a pendant with the gemstone also in contact with the body.

In summary, ruby is a powerful and captivating gemstone associated with the Sun, known for its benefits in various aspects of life, including success, confidence, and relationships.
