Also Known As: Manik

Color: Shades of Pink to Blood Red

A pigeon blood red colored Ruby is considered to be of the best quality and is very smooth to touch with a fine and sharp cut.

Relation Between Sun & Ruby/ Manik

The corresponding astrological planet to Ruby is the Sun. The Sun, often contemplated as father or king, bestows leadership, bravery, and honor.

A positive& strongly posited Sun in the chart will make the person royal and reputed. However, a weakly placed Sun or Sun in debilitated state or in enemy sign can bring unexpected & inauspicious results. Financial and professional stability can be deeply affected & the person is least likely to get any help from the govt.

Ruby helps in elimination of these negative impacts or in the former case, boost the positivity offered by the Sun for the wearer.

Identifying A Real Ruby/ Manik From A Fake Stone

Here are some effective ways to verify if the Ruby is genuine or a fake:

• Shine: Real rubies glow with a deep, vivid red shine. Fake gems are often dull& significantly less shiny.
• Color: Ruby has a consistent and even color throughout the stone. Fake ones usually have blemishes and impure spots. However, sometimes Ruby can also have imperfections.
• Hardness: Try scratching on the surface of the stone. Substitutes or fakes are much softer than a real ruby& will scratch more easily. Grinding a fingernail or a coin into the surface of the gemstone will help you identify the real ones. If you are able to scratch it, then there is a high possibility that it is a fake stone & not a real ruby. Only a diamond can scratch a ruby.
• Weight: Most fake rubies are less dense than real ones, making them much lighter than the real deal. This can be concluded easily simply by weighing the stone at hand. A fake gemstone will weigh less than a ruby of the same size.
• Price: Ruby is quite an expensive gemstone, & if it is available at a suspiciously low discounted price, then it is quite likely that it might be fake.
