Characteristics and Technical information :
Ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone. The brightest and most valuable shade of red, called blood-red or pigeon blood, commands a significant premium over other rubies of similar quality. Ruby Belongs to the mineral family of corundum. The chemical composition of ruby is aluminum oxide.

Different varieties of gem-quality corundum are called Sapphires. Ruby is one of the traditional cardinal gems, with amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. Ruby is called Manikya or Padmaraga in Sanskrit. The color of a ruby is due to the element chromium.

The quality of a ruby is determined by its color, cut, and clarity, which, along with carat weight, determines its value. After color follows clarity: Clear stone will command a premium, but a ruby without any needle-like rutile inclusions may indicate that the stone has been treated. Ruby is the traditional birthstone for July, as per western belief. But Vedic astrology suggests thoroughly analyzing the horoscope to wear the gem, Ruby. However, a minimum color saturation must be met to be called a ruby; otherwise, the stone will be called a pink sapphire.

More Information:
For centuries, the Mogok Valley in Upper Myanmar (Burma) was the world's primary source of rubies. That region has produced some exceptional rubies. However, in recent years few good rubies have been found. RATNAGARBHA has a good amount of Mogok Rubies stock.

Historically, rubies have also been mined in Thailand, in the Pailin and Samlout District of Cambodia, as well as in Afghanistan, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, India, Namibia, Japan, and Scotland. Generally, gemstone-quality corundum in all shades of red, including pink, are called rubies. In Sri Lanka, lighter shades of rubies are often found, called pink sapphires. Except for Old Burma (Mogok) and Mozambique rubies, we found most of the other mines' gemstones are heated or color treated. But if you are searching for untreated rubies, you can buy Unheated astrology-grade Rubies at PUSHYARKA
