Ruby Buying Guide

Check its Origin:

Today, the best quality original Ruby stones with good transparency and the desired red color come from the Mogok region in Burma. Thailand is also one of the good sources of natural Ruby and it comes in darker shades of Red to almost Violet in color. Sri Lanka is another location where it is mined and is mostly of a lighter shade of Red.

Other sources include Madagascar, Kabul (Afghanistan), Tanganyika, China and South India. Even though Madagascar rubies are new to the gemstone market, these Ruby types are of top of the line quality and have created its own popularity in a short span. They are fine, transparent and are free from inclusions, with rich Pink color and look similar to Burma Rubies.

Observe their Color:

Ruby's most significant qualitative characteristic is its color. The color of the finest rubies is pure, vibrant red to faintly purplish red. A color that is excessively orange or purple is deemed undesirable. The finest quality rubies have vibrant color saturation that is not excessively dark.

Notice their Clarity:

As inclusion-free rubies are uncommon, the trade anticipates that rubies will contain at least a few inclusions. Ruby's value is contingent on the visibility of its inclusions.

Examine their Inclusions:

Almost all natural Rubies contain flaws, such as color impurities and inclusions of rutile fibers referred to as "silk." These inclusions differentiate natural Ruby from synthetics, and when structurally aligned so that light reflects off the "silk" in particular ways, the inclusions increase the stone's rarity and value. Rubies with obvious inclusions or inclusions that diminish transparency or brilliance have a lower value.

See their Shape:

Several factors influence the design and proportion of available rubies. The crystal structure of a ruby determines its suitability for particular cutting. Ruby crystals are typically hexagonal in shape, but crystals from certain sources can be elongated.

Check the Carats:

For Ruby of gem quality, the raw Ruby is divided and polished into smaller stones of variable carat weight. In general, Ruby weighing 0.50 carats and above are appropriate for jewelry. Because Ruby is sold by weight, Ruby prices are calculated per carat. Stones of comparable dimensions but distinct varieties vary greatly in price. The more carats and clarity Ruby has, the higher its price.

Avoid Heated & Treated Ruby

Due to treatments the Ruby stone loses its natural composition and thus loses its natural frequency. These heated and treated Ruby do not offer any healing benefits and should be avoided.

Check for Lab Certificate

It is recommended that you should purchase Ruby gemstones along a lab tested certificate which can determine its authenticity, treatment status and origin.

You can also give yourself at least 72 hours after embracing a Ruby to determine whether or not you are experiencing any negative effects. If after 72 hours of embracing the Ruby stone you do not feel even the slightest effect, you are safe to use Ruby, as this shows it is safe and sure for you and it will not negatively affect you in any way.

If after a few days of wearing you feel completely energized, inspired, and normal instead of confused, drowsy and numb, Ruby is a good choice for you. You will soon receive a subtle indication that wealth and good fortune are abundant in your life. Ruby has been considered a gemstone of luck and prosperity for centuries.

How long do the effects of Ruby last?

If cared for properly, a Ruby can be worn as jewelry for generations. You must wear it until your chakras are balanced. Typically, experts advise wearing gemstones for four years, after which they are no longer necessary.

For the best results it is highly recommended that one wears only 100% natural, unheated, and untreated Ruby gemstones. As per the Vedic scriptures, a heat treatment harms its sattvic nature, rendering the stone less effective and beneficial. Like other gemstones, the quality of Ruby is also determined by the four Cs (Color, Cut, Carat, Clarity).

Color

The best quality Ruby stones are rich red in color with vivid and vibrant color saturation, hue and tone that is not too dark or light. The color should be evenly distributed with no visible color-zone.

Cut

Best quality Ruby stones have cuts that maximize the effect of hue, tone, saturation and surface area.

Carat

Ruby of 0.50 carats and above is most popular in Vedic Astrology. Significant smaller and larger rubies are used in contemporary jewelry. Generally, the price of Ruby rises as the size/weight/carat increases.

Clarity

Rubies typically contain some inclusions. Thus, the rubies with some inclusions are readily accepted, traded and used. Rubies with least inclusions and best clarity and color are considered of premium quality.

Ruby gemstone Price

Ruby gemstone price is primarily determined by color, with Pigeon Blood red being the most expensive "red" ruby. After color, the exact price is determined by the cut and carat weight in the price matrix. It has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it ideal for crafting exquisite jewelry. Rubies are available in a variety of sizes, but gem-quality rubies weighing over one carat are exceedingly rare and, not surprisingly, extremely expensive.

Regrettably, almost all ruby gemstones in the market are treated to increase its value. However, when a gemstone is heat-treated or undergoes the dying process, its healing properties are lost when it is worn. Ruby has numerous curative properties; to maximize its curative effects, only untreated Ruby stone should be worn.

The price of genuine, natural and unheated, untreated Ruby gemstones at Rudra Centre ranges from INR 43,450 to INR 5,14,800 (USD 543 to USD 6.435).

How to Identify or Test Original & Authentic Ruby?

The best way to check the authenticity of Ruby is by getting a Lab tested report from a reputed laboratory. Rudra Centre only deals with Vedic Astrology approved gemstones that are natural, untreated, and unheated. All our Ruby are certified by reputable labs like GIA, GLI, IGI and IGITL.

Look for flaws along with inclusions. Use a magnifying glass with at least 10x magnification to examine the Ruby carefully. Look for specks and blemishes, as they form with minute particles of other material. These flaws are strong evidence that a Ruby is genuine. Lab-created (fake) Ruby have no inclusions of this nature, and neither do natural Ruby, but if you find flaws, then your Ruby is genuine.

Examine the gemstone for air bubbles. Essentially, lab-created Ruby are glass that has undergone a process similar to that which forms natural Ruby. Since they are made of glass, they retain miniscule air bubbles after formation. If there are bubbles within the Ruby, it is not genuine. Be sure to inspect your Ruby from every angle by turning it over. There is a possibility that bubbles of air will only be evident from a single angle.

Look at how light is reflected by the Ruby. Turn off all the lights and shine your flashlight on the Ruby. If it is genuine, it will only reflect light of the same hue as itself. If it is a fake, made of glass, it will reflect colors other than the natural color of the gem.

Ruby Cleaning & Maintenance

It is always safe to wash ruby gemstone with warm soapy water.

In most cases, ultrasonic and steam cleaners are risk-free cleaning options for heat-treated, interlayer diffusion-treated, and untreated stones.

To properly clean ruby gemstones that have been fracture-filled, cavity-filled, or dyed, you should only use a damp cloth.
