Ruby(Manik)

The Ruby Stone, known as Manik in Hindi and Padmaraga or Manikya in Sanskrit, is one of the most radiant and prestigious gemstones, celebrated for its fiery red hue and powerful astrological properties. Belonging to the Corundum mineral family, Ruby’s captivating color comes from traces of chromium, which give it its intense red glow.
Throughout history, Ruby has been regarded as the King of Gemstones, symbolizing passion, vitality, and authority. In Vedic astrology, it is associated with the Sun (Surya)—the planet of confidence, leadership, and success. At ShivRaj Ratna, we offer only natural, untreated, and certified Rubies, meticulously selected for their deep color, clarity, and strong astrological energy.

About Ruby (Manik)

Ruby is a rare and precious gemstone known for its deep red to pinkish-red color and exceptional hardness, second only to diamond. In Vedic astrology, Manik is treasured for boosting self-confidence, leadership qualities, and willpower.

The most prized Rubies display a vivid, pure red often described as “pigeon blood red”—a term used for stones with the finest saturation and brightness. Its natural glow and strong symbolic meaning make Ruby a favorite among royalty, leaders, and those seeking personal empowerment.

Astrologically, Ruby is revered for strengthening the Sun’s influence, which governs energy, authority, and success. It is believed to enhance mental strength, bring fame, improve health, and protect against negative energies.

Origin of Ruby – Where Does It Come From?

Rubies are mined in several countries, each origin having unique characteristics and price ranges:

  • Burmese Rubies (Myanmar) – Known for their legendary pigeon blood red color and high transparency, considered the most valuable in the world.
  • Mozambican Rubies – Rich in color, often slightly darker than Burmese Rubies, with excellent durability and clarity.
  • Thai Rubies – Typically darker with a brownish-red tone, more affordable than Burmese stones.
  • Sri Lankan (Ceylon) Rubies – Lighter red with a pinkish tone, prized for astrological benefits.
  • Indian Rubies – Mostly opaque or semi-transparent, with strong astrological energy at affordable prices.

At ShivRaj Ratna, we specialize in Burmese and Mozambican Rubies for the best combination of beauty, purity, and astrological potency.
