The Jaipur Gemstone 8.50 Ratti Ruby (Manik) Ashtadhatu Ring presents a natural Ruby set in an Ashtadhatu alloy — the traditional eight-metal blend considered auspicious in Vedic practice. Ruby, known as Manik in Sanskrit, belongs to the Corundum mineral family and carries a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it among the most durable of gemstones. At 8.50 ratti, the stone is set to a size traditionally recommended for astrological use. This ring is intended to be worn on the ring finger of the right hand, as is the classical Vedic recommendation for Ruby.
Ruby (Manik) is the principal Vedic gemstone of the Sun (Surya Graha). In the Vedic tradition, a well-placed Ruby is believed to strengthen confidence, leadership, vitality, and the positive qualities associated with a strong Sun in the horoscope. It is traditionally linked to the rashi Simha (Leo) and is said to support those in positions of authority. As Ruby is a powerful planetary gemstone, it is strongly recommended that a qualified Vedic astrologer assess the Sun's placement in the birth chart before this ring is worn regularly.
