This Natural Ruby, traditionally known as Manikya, shows a Purplish Red colour that gives the gem a rich, slightly cooler expression than a classic pure red ruby. The violet undertone can lend a pleasing depth to the colour, rather like crimson petals seen in the softer light of late afternoon. At 3.23 carats, it has a presence that can be enjoyed as the central gem in a refined bespoke jewel.
The pear shape brings an elegant, gently tapered outline, well suited to a pendant or a ring designed with the point facing towards the fingertip. Notable inclusions are present, as is often seen in natural ruby, and form part of the stone’s visible internal character. Rather than being the focus of its appeal, they are simply an honest part of this natural corundum gemstone.
The laboratory report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. This is an important disclosure for an informed ruby buyer and should be understood as part of the gemstone’s recorded condition. Nine Gems Lab certification accompanies the ruby, providing professional documentation for its identification and the reported treatment observations. At Nine Gems in Bengaluru, we believe clear reporting helps one choose a gemstone with a proper understanding of its individual qualities.
In Vedic tradition, ruby or Manikya is associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha linked with vitality, self-expression, authority and inner confidence. Ruby has long held a respected place in Jyotish as Surya’s principal gemstone, often considered by those wishing to honour this planetary association in their personal spiritual practice. Whether set as a striking pear-shaped ruby ring or a close-to-the-heart pendant, its Purplish Red colour gives the jewel a warm and distinctive presence.
