Ruby

Ruby (Manikya) — Gemstone of the Sun

Ruby, known as Manikya in Sanskrit, is the gemstone of the Sun (Surya) and one of the most powerful Navagraha stones in Vedic astrology. Sourced from Bangkok and certified by reputed gem laboratories, this deep red to magenta-pink corundum stone has been revered across Indian, Burmese, and Sri Lankan traditions for thousands of years as a symbol of power, passion, and royal authority. The Sun governs the soul, self-confidence, vitality, name, fame, and one's relationship with authority figures. A weak or afflicted Sun can cause lack of confidence, poor health, government troubles, and diminished leadership ability. Ruby directly activates and strengthens solar energy in the horoscope.

In Vedic astrology, Ruby is the primary planetary gemstone for those born under Leo (Simha Rashi) and for those with the Sun as their ascendant lord. It is also prescribed for Aries and Sagittarius ascendants when the Sun is placed beneficially. The gem must always be worn after consultation with a qualified Vedic astrologer.
