Is Ruby the Right Gem for You?

Yes or no; the answer depends on you, your purpose, position, personality and last but not least your cosmics. Ruby can make you grow in persona, stature and wealth; contrarily it may cause your downfall. Read for more…

Ruby has a fascinating name; arising from the Latin word ”Rubrum” meaning red, the stone has majestic appearance. No wonder why this is referred to in Sanskrit as “Ratnaraj” meaning the king of gems & crystals. So we have two aspects: red denoting fire and king denoting an element of suspense. School day stories about how a king vacillates in treating his royal retinue are still fresh in our minds. One day a member of the entourage is appointed as minister by the king and not to be carried away, on the following day he is tried for treason, convicted and hanged. Such was the suspense and intrigue the royals conducted themselves, and have probably passed this element onto our subject of discussion, ruby as gemstone.

To dig deeper, ruby is red, passion and fire. Fire is a good servant but a bad master. It intermingles in positive and negative nature; appears in constructive and destructive form; moves in slow or quick space. Fire can fluctuate heavily between the extremes. When fire is high your cylinders are firing faster and when it is down you are rendered in-active. Fire is all about quality of leadership, action, assertiveness, sexual potency and creativity. On the flip side, fire drives you to lose your temper, puts your marriage on the rock, and in some cases shoves you towards criminality. If you have fire as predominant element in you, ruby is going to be counter-productive as it adds more heat to the system

Ruby is besotted with another unique feature. It can up-lift you from low beginnings to higher elevation in education, career and business. This is because ruby has transparency and fluorescence, when these two are combined with red colour it transmits waves in a spectacular manner. Its emission ranges between short waves in ultra-violet rays and long waves as infra-red rays. When you wear a ruby you transform yourself into a passionate person, ostensibly projecting your power and position in business and pleasure.

As crystallized aluminium ruby has traces of chromium oxide that gives it crimson vivid colour and at the same time causing fissures and cracks inside. Then there are inclusions and impurities. Quite a number of stones have dark patches of brownish or blackish colour called as “Extinction” in the industry. All these add up to a remarkable phenomenon on the wearer. Ladies who hug ruby towards their body as gem & jewellery have to pay dearly with losing their lustre. Some end up with skin rashes that remain forever.

What I have been discussing so far is about genuine natural ruby. In the market 90% of the ruby available is heat treated. Filling cracks, cavities and cleavages is admissible and need to be done to ensure brilliance and transparency. But heat treatment gives only artificial features and has no relevance to either aesthetics or cosmics. Then there are plenty of synthetic stones, flawless and equally beautiful. About 75% of these are used in industrial purposes. The balance flitters into the market posing as genuine rubies. Unless you know the gem merchant or jeweller woe be on you if you buy without scrutiny.

As I said in the beginning if you feel that you need the gem for achieving a specific purpose, boosting your personality, up-grading your position or just to harness your cosmics then settle for a ruby. Set it with on suitable metal to be worn as pendant, ring, brooch, bracelet, necklace, charms, earrings and so on.
