This Natural Ruby, known in India as Manikya, carries a rich Purplish Red colour that gives the classic ruby palette a slightly softer, more nuanced character. The red remains the heart of the stone, while the gentle purple influence adds depth reminiscent of crimson petals seen in evening light. At 7.12 carats, it has a substantial presence, and its oval form would sit beautifully in a custom ring or an elegant pendant designed to keep the colour at centre stage.
A particularly important feature is its report of no indications of thermal enhancement. In fine rubies, this is valued because the recorded colour and character are presented without thermal enhancement. Buyers who appreciate natural gemstone qualities often look closely at this point, especially in a ruby of this size. Notable inclusions are present, as can occur in natural rubies, and they form part of the stone’s individual visual character.
The gemstone is accompanied by certification from Nine Gems Lab and IIGJ Research & Laboratories | GJEPC (IIGJ), providing professional documentation for its reported identity and treatment observation. Such reports are useful when selecting a natural ruby for a significant piece of jewellery, allowing its important recorded details to travel with the stone. At Nine Gems, Bengaluru, we would especially enjoy seeing this Manikya set with warm yellow gold, where its Purplish Red tone can feel regal and deeply traditional.
In Vedic astrology, ruby is traditionally associated with the Sun (Surya), the planet linked with vitality, authority, self-expression and honour. Manikya has held an important place in Jyotish for centuries as Surya’s principal gemstone, and is traditionally worn by those seeking to strengthen the favourable qualities of the Sun in their horoscope. Its meaningful colour, substantial weight and no-heat report make this a compelling natural ruby to consider both as fine jewellery and within the cultural tradition of Vedic gemstones.
