This natural Ruby, known in Indian tradition as Manikya, weighs 5.94 carats and presents a rich Purplish Red colour. The violet undertone adds a distinctive nuance to ruby’s classic red, creating a colour impression that can recall crimson flowers seen in the softer light of dusk. Ruby has long been treasured as one of the great precious gemstones, admired for its intense colour and enduring place in royal and ceremonial jewellery.
The oval shape gives this ruby an elegant outline suited to a refined ring, pendant or traditional statement jewel. Notable inclusions are present, a feature commonly encountered in natural rubies and part of the stone’s individual visual character. Rather than masking the gem’s identity, these natural features make each ruby visually distinct and are best appreciated when choosing a stone for its colour, size and overall personality.
The laboratory report notes indications of thermal enhancement with heating residue in fissures. Heating is a recognised and accepted practice in the ruby trade, and this disclosure allows the gemstone to be understood and appreciated with clarity. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we believe such information should be shared plainly, so that the customer can enjoy the beauty of the ruby with an informed understanding of its reported condition. This gemstone is certified by Nine Gems Lab.
In Vedic astrology, ruby or Manikya is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the graha linked with confidence, authority, vitality and self-expression. In Jyotish, Surya is regarded as the source of inner strength and personal radiance, which is why ruby holds such an important place among traditional navaratna gemstones. Those considering Manikya for astrological wear commonly consult a knowledgeable astrologer for guidance based on their individual horoscope.
