Detailed Price Breakup
Get in touch
This 1.38 carat Natural Ruby, known in Indian tradition as Manikya, carries a distinctive Purplish Red colour that brings together the warmth of red with a subtle violet undertone. Rather than a flat primary red, this hue has a more nuanced, regal character, reminiscent of crimson petals seen in the softer light of dusk. Its octagon shape gives the stone a clean, balanced outline that can suit a refined bespoke jewel.
Madagascar has become an important source of fine rubies, admired for producing stones in a range of attractive red hues. This ruby’s confirmed Madagascar origin adds a meaningful chapter to its story, connecting it to one of the significant modern locations in the ruby world. Notable inclusions are present, as can naturally occur in ruby, and form part of the individual character of this gemstone.
A particularly appealing quality is the report of no indications of thermal enhancement. For buyers who appreciate a ruby whose recorded colour and character have not been thermally enhanced, this is an important detail. The gemstone is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab and IIGJ Research & Laboratories | GJEPC (IIGJ), providing professional documentation for the reported origin and treatment status.
In Vedic astrology, Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with confidence, leadership, vitality, self-respect and personal authority. Ruby is often chosen in Jyotish for those seeking to strengthen Surya’s traditional influence in their horoscope, ideally after individual astrological guidance. This Madagascar Natural Ruby can be beautifully fashioned into a classic ring or pendant, allowing its Purplish Red colour to remain the central focus. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, it is offered as a gemstone with both fine-jewellery appeal and traditional astrological relevance.
