RUBY (MANIKYA) USES as gemstone and chemical benifits

 Magical Effects of Ruby (Manikya) as a Gemstone

Introduction

Ruby's word meaning is "pink." It is an important gemstone in astrology, one of the first nine gems. It is a harder, brighter stone made up of aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). Its color is due to the presence of the chromium ion. It has a long history. It was discovered thousands of years ago in Burma (Myanmar). It was the symbol of passion, power, and protection. In ancient India and Rome, it was considered a symbol of good fortune that brings victory against evil.

Colour

It has a brighter color because the chromium ions absorb the sunlight and release the same. It forms a variety of corundum due to the presence of Aluminium oxide and chromium. 

Florescense

The ruby looks pink or pigeon-blood red because it absorbs some part of the sunlight of certain wavelengths, and the red color emission by the chromium ion shows its red color presence. 

Medical benefits 

It is believed that the person who is not good at making decisions lacks confidence and is afraid of protecting themselves and others. It strengthens the heart tissues and their pumping power, and hence increases the physical strength, thinking ability, and decision-making ability.

Energy 

 It is a symbol of energy, as it is related to the sun. It increases the blood flow in the body and boosts the energy level, and the person thinks of themselves as energetic.

Mind Peace

  The sun is the lord of all planets, so if the sun is weak in the kundali, then his/her thinking ability decreases, and he remains in stress. Ruby increases the oxygen-rich blood supply in the brain, blocks the negative thinking, and improves the intelligence (Not researched)

Medicine

 It is used to make an ayurvedic tonic of Ruby rasayan to improve heart function, provide strength to the heart muscles, and hence improve the circulatory system.

How to identify the originality of Ruby

Natural rubies are primarily red, with hints of pink, purple, or orange. High-quality rubies have a strong, rich red saturation without brown or gray overtones, making them more valuable. They should be consistent and balanced throughout the stone, with no uneven coloring. They should also maintain their beauty under various light sources, from sunlight to artificial light. Be cautious of unnaturally bright or fluorescent rubies, as they may be signs of artificial coloring or synthetic stones.
