What gives Ruby its red colour?
Chromium is mainly responsible for the red colour of Ruby. Variations in chromium can influence the shade and intensity of the gemstone.
Natural Rubies can display different shades of red, including deep red and pinkish-red. The current product is listed with a deep red to magenta pink colour.
Colour should be considered together with transparency and overall appearance. A very dark Ruby is not automatically a better Ruby. Brightness, colour distribution and how the Stone looks under light are also important.
Ruby Stone inclusions
Natural Ruby commonly contains internal characteristics formed during its growth. These may include mineral crystals, fine needle-like features and other inclusions.
Inclusions are common in natural Rubies and do not automatically indicate poor quality. Their importance depends on their size, location, and effect on the gemstone's appearance.
Inclusions that significantly reduce transparency can make a Ruby look less bright. Surface-reaching fractures also deserve attention because they may affect durability.
Ruby cut and shapes
The cut affects how light travels through the ruby and how the Gemstone looks from the front.
The current product is available in oval, octagonal, and cushion shapes with a faceted cut. A well-proportioned cut can help the gemstone display its colour and brilliance, while polish and symmetry contribute to its appearance.
When comparing Rubies with similar Ratti weights, look at the actual gemstone rather than choosing only the largest option.
How is Ruby Stone quality evaluated?
Ruby quality can be considered using colour, transparency, clarity, inclusions, cut, polish, Ratti or carat weight, treatment, origin, certification, and overall appearance.
Colour is particularly important. An attractive red with good brightness and balance can make the gemstone more appealing.
Natural Rubies commonly contain inclusions, so completely flawless clarity is not always expected. Instead, consider whether the inclusions affect transparency, brilliance, or durability. Treatment should also be considered because it can influence how the gemstone is evaluated and priced.
Ruby Stone price
There is no fixed Ruby Stone price because individual gemstones can differ in colour, transparency, clarity, size, treatment, and overall quality.
Price may be influenced by colour, transparency, clarity, inclusions, cut, polish, Ratti or carat weight, treatment, origin, certification, and overall appearance.
When comparing Ruby Stone prices online, check complete gemstone specifications instead of comparing only weight or size.
Natural Ruby vs Synthetic Ruby
A Natural Ruby forms naturally within the earth. A synthetic Ruby is laboratory-grown and can have the same basic chemical composition and crystal structure as natural Ruby. An imitation Ruby is made from another material designed to resemble Ruby.
Because these materials can look similar in photographs, check product information and laboratory certification before purchasing. Gemstones Astrotalk states that its Ruby Stones are natural, authentic, and certified by reputed gem laboratories.
Is Ruby Stone treated?
Ruby can undergo treatments to improve its appearance. Heat treatment is commonly encountered in the Ruby market and may be used to improve colour or visual appearance.
The current Ruby product is listed as heated and treated. When comparing Rubies, check treatment status along with colour, transparency, origin and certification.
Ruby for jewellery
Ruby's red colour and hardness make it suitable for different jewellery designs, including rings, pendants, bracelets and custom pieces.
The current product is available as a loose Stone, ring, or pendant, with Panchdhatu and Copper options listed.
Ruby should be securely set, particularly when used in jewellery worn regularly. Avoid unnecessary exposure to harsh chemicals and strong impact to help protect the gemstone and its setting.
Ruby for Vedic astrology
In traditional Vedic astrology, Ruby or Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya).
It is traditionally linked with qualities such as confidence, leadership, authority, recognition, and vitality. These are traditional astrological beliefs and should not be considered scientifically proven effects.
The product page describes Ruby as being traditionally associated with power, confidence, success, recognition, and leadership.
According to traditional astrology, Ruby may be considered when the Sun is favourable or requires strengthening in an individual's birth chart. If you are considering Ruby for astrological use, consult a qualified astrologer before wearing it.
Who should wear Ruby Stone?
According to traditional Vedic astrology, Ruby may be recommended when the Sun has an important role in an individual's birth chart. The product page highlights Leo and Aries among the zodiac signs for which Ruby may be considered.
However, zodiac sign alone should not determine whether Ruby is suitable. A personalised recommendation can consider the complete birth chart and planetary positions. Ruby is traditionally worn on the ring finger of the right hand in Gold, Panchdhatu, or Copper, with the appropriate metal and weight varying according to astrological guidance.
Why Ruby certification matters
A laboratory certificate can provide useful information when buying a natural gemstone online. Depending on the laboratory, a report may identify the gemstone and provide information about its characteristics or treatment.
Before purchasing Ruby, make sure the certificate details correspond with the gemstone and product information. Certification should be considered together with colour, transparency, inclusions, cut, size, and overall appearance.
Gemstones Astrotalk states that its Ruby Stones are natural, authentic, and certified by reputed gem laboratories.
How to buy Ruby Stone online
Before you buy a Ruby Stone online, decide whether you are purchasing it mainly for jewellery, traditional astrology, or both.
For jewellery, consider colour, transparency, inclusions, cut, and overall appearance. For astrological use, consider whether Ruby is appropriate for your birth chart.
Before ordering, check:
- Natural or synthetic status
- Ratti or carat weight
- Colour
- Transparency and clarity
- Inclusions
- Shape and cut
- Treatment status
- Origin
- Laboratory certification
- Ring or pendant option
The current product offers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 12 Ratti options, with loose Stone, ring, and pendant formats available.
Avoid choosing Ruby only because it is larger or cheaper. Comparing complete specifications and the actual gemstone appearance can help you select a Stone that fits your requirements and budget.
Ruby Stone care
After wearing Ruby jewellery, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and sweat. Avoid soap, detergent, perfume, and sanitiser.
Remove Ruby jewellery before heavy work or sports, and avoid hitting or scratching the gemstone. If Ruby is set in Panchdhatu, frequent contact with water, sweat, or perfume can affect the metal's finish, so keeping it dry is recommended.
