It is no secret that gemstones and precious stones are extremely valuable and not many people can afford it or would understand their value. But even amongst the gemstones, Ruby holds a commendable position above most. The gemstone is not just mind—blowingly beautiful, but also has a host of astrological benefits for one to feel keen to purchase a ruby.
Rubies come in various shades of red. The colour the stone is most associated with is the deep and bright red one would find the easiest to visualise, and it also happens to be the most common colour of the gemstone. There are few places in the world with abundant supplies of rubies, Thailand, Cambodia, India and Myanmar to name a few. The reason that the issue of colour and origin have been put in subsequence, is that the latter influences the former; every region producing rubies is special in producing a colour of rubies that is specific to that region. Expert dealers of rubies or an enthusiast about the stone would be aware of this, so it might be a good idea for a potential customer to research in some detail about the regions.
When it comes to astrological benefits, Ruby aces in that category as well. The gemstone is known to be the birthstone of the Sun God. If one is intrigued about the horoscopic details of the tone, they would do well to know that the stone favours the sun-signs (or “rashi”-s) Leo and Sagittarius the most. The gemstone is known to boost and foster the moral strength of a person, consequently making them more courageous, even valiant. The association with the Sun God also implies that a wearer of a ruby or Manik is granted the strength and life-force of the Sun itself, brightening their path more than any ordinary person’s.
As far as purchasing a ruby goes, it would be good to have a guide handy as to how to distinguish an original gemstone from a fake. Without further ado, read on:
-
Colour – The colour of a ruby is quite frankly, unmistakable. Anyone with the slightest awareness of rubies should feel no difficulty in ascertaining whether the gemstone before them is an original ruby. One must always examine the gemstone from all angles to determine if the colour-concentration is even throughout the stone; an erratic distribution of colour-concentration is sure to be a symptom of a fake gemstone.
-
Clarity – Not that it comes as a surprise, the pricing of rubies is significantly dependent on clarity. If you seek to purchase a clear ruby, as one should, you should be prepared to pay handsomely.
-
Inclusions – It is improbable to the point of being impossible for a ruby to have absolutely zero inclusions. In most cases, they do not even appear unless the gemstone is put under a looking glass. Do make sure that the gemstone you are buying is not too infested with them.
It is always wise to choose a trusted seller for your gemstones, and Ruby is no exception. Buying from Khanna Gems is always a suggested option. Either at a store or online, Rubies from Khanna Gems are absolutely genuine and stand up to the hardest tests.
