Gemstone guide · Sun

Ruby (Manik / Manikya) is the gemstone of the Sun (Surya), linked with confidence, authority, leadership and government.

It is the traditional Rashi Ratan for Leo (Singh).

Who traditionally wears ruby?

  • Leo Moon sign or ascendant
  • Aries, Cancer, Scorpio and Sagittarius ascendants in many charts
  • People in leadership, politics or government roles, when the Sun is favourable
02

African vs Thailand ruby

  • African rubies (for example from Mozambique) are natural stones known for vivid red colour; we list them as natural and lab certified.
  • Thailand-origin rubies are the affordable choice; we describe them as Thailand origin with a certificate. Colour terms such as “Burma touch” or “Mozambique touch” describe the shade.
03

How much should it weigh?

Most adults choose 3–7 carats, often guided by about 1 ratti per 10 kg of body weight. Convert with the carat to ratti guide.

How to wear Manik

  1. Day: Sunday morning, around sunrise
  2. Metal: gold, copper or Panchdhatu, open back
  3. Finger: ring finger of your working hand
  4. Mantra: “Om Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah”, 108 times
05

Stones to avoid combining

Tradition considers the Sun unfriendly with Saturn and Venus, so ruby is usually not combined with blue sapphire or diamond.

06

Care

Ruby is 9 on the Mohs scale and suits daily wear. Clean with lukewarm water and mild soap.
