Characteristics and Benefits of Ruby/Manik Gemstones
A Ruby gemstone is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone (opaque to transparent). The Ruby gemstone is also called as “Manik†in Hindi. It is used to enhance the powers of Planet Sun. If Sun is well placed in the birth chart one can never be unsuccessful.
Jyotish quality Ruby should have some transparency & should not have black inclusions & broken edges should be 100% natural non-heated, non-treated.
Many Rubies in the market now-a-days are from Thailand and Africa, and these Rubies have a less-desirable brownish Color-tone, though they often can be heated and treated (to make it bright and better in colortone) or fake.
Heating damages the inner value/astrological benefits and quality of the gemstone. Untreated gemstones that are naturally authentic tend to provide much better results.
