This Natural Ruby, known in Indian tradition as Manikya, weighs 2.03 carats and presents a rich Purplish Red colour. The meeting of red with a gentle violet undertone gives the stone a deeper, more regal mood than a straightforward red, recalling crimson petals seen in evening light. Ruby has long been admired as one of the most emotionally powerful coloured gemstones, and this oval stone carries that classic warmth with a distinctive colour personality of its own.
The accompanying Nine Gems Lab report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. Heating is an accepted and commonly encountered enhancement in ruby, and this disclosure clearly records the stone’s reported condition for an informed purchase. Notable inclusions are also present; such internal features are commonly found in natural rubies and should be appreciated as part of the gemstone’s individual natural formation rather than expected to resemble a clarity-graded diamond.
Its oval outline is especially versatile for a refined ruby ring, where the Purplish Red colour can become the centre of a clean gold or platinum design. It would also suit a pendant with a restrained diamond surround, allowing the ruby’s depth of colour to remain the focus. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would suggest choosing a setting that protects the stone’s edges while keeping its rich Manikya colour open to view.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha linked with self-expression, leadership, vitality and personal authority. Manikya has an important place in Jyotish practice as Surya’s principal gemstone, and is traditionally worn by those seeking to strengthen the qualities represented by the Sun in their horoscope. Astrological gemstone selection is generally considered alongside an individual birth chart, appropriate weight, setting and wearing guidance.
