Ruby in Vedic astrology

In jyotish, ruby (manik) is the gemstone of Surya, the Sun. It is traditionally set in gold or copper, worn on the ring finger, and first put on on a Sunday morning. Because the right gemstone depends on your birth chart, we recommend consulting your astrologer before wearing it.

Gentle heating improves a ruby's colour and clarity. It is the most common and widely accepted treatment for ruby, and the laboratory report discloses it.

Ratti is a traditional Indian unit for weighing gemstones. We use 1 ratti = 0.91 carat, so 3.66 carats is 4.022 ratti.
