Ruby (manik) Pendant – Passion, Vitality & Confidence

Ruby (Manik) is the Vedic gemstone of the Sun (Surya) and one of the nine Navaratna stones. It works by strengthening the Sun's influence in the chart — the foundation of confidence, authority and vitality — so that a weak or afflicted Sun is steadied. It is traditionally worn by those seeking recognition, leadership presence and the warmth to lead from within.

Ruby is the red variety of corundum (crystalline aluminium oxide), its colour drawn from traces of chromium — the same mineral family as sapphire. Among the hardest of all gems, it forms in metamorphic and igneous rock and is found in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and parts of Africa. In Vedic tradition it is Manik, the gemstone of the Sun (Surya) and one of the nine Navaratna stones.
