Ruby comes from the Latin word “ruber,” which means “red.” Ruby’s color ranges from light pink to dark red, and it’s also called ‘Pigeon’s blood ruby.’ Light-colored rubies are suited for women, while darker rubies are appropriate for men, and are known as Manikya or Manik among Hindu audiences. It is the ideal gem for those in positions of authority and love, as it persuades more emotions than nearly any other stone. According to the Bible and ancient Sanskrit scriptures, Manik is one of the most beautiful jewels. Ruby is associated with the Sun and is thought to promote emotional and physical well-being. Let’s start this post with the benefits of Ruby stone:

Benefits of Wearing Ruby Stone

• Ruby gemstones, like the Sun, enhance innate leadership abilities, and hence the wearer of this gemstone is likely to receive recognition from positions of administrative and authority functions.
• Ruby’s inherent rich red color evokes thoughts of compression, love, and warmth in the wearer’s heart.
• If the Sun is in your second or fourth house, you may have issues with family relationships; therefore, such people have to wear this gemstone to improve their home relationships.
• By enhancing your opinions and your confidence toward people, the Manik makes it easier to overcome timidity.

How to Identify Real Ruby Stone?

The hue of actual rubies is typically a vivid, realistic, almost “stoplight” red. Fake Ruby gems are frequently dull and drab, i.e. they don’t shine. Real Manik’s are exceptionally hard stones, therefore if you scratch the gemstone’s surface and it finally shows a scratch, it isn’t a genuine ruby. On the other hand, a ruby can only be scratched by a diamond.

How to Wear Ruby Stone?

Ruby, the Sun’s gemstone, can be worn in a gold or copper ring on your ring finger. Before wearing the ring, it should be dipped in unboiled milk or Ganga water. To energize the ring, offer Lord Vishnu or Lord Shiva red or white flowers and the smell of incense sticks while repeating the Sun’s mantra, Om Hram Hrim Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah, 108 times. It can be worn on a Sunday morning or during the Uttara Phalguni, Krittika, and UttaraShada Nakshatras once these rituals are completed.

What Carrot Stone is Perfect For You?

When it comes to the carat of Ruby stone to be worn, a minimum of 1 carat is required for astrological reasons, and the gemstone should be set preferable in gold or copper. A gemstone of 2-3 carats is suitable, while a Ruby of 5-7 carats is practical and suitable. Furthermore, because Ruby is a hot gemstone, it governs the pitta, which is the body’s fire aspect. Because ruby is a fiery gemstone, it governs the pitta element in the body.
