Gemstone Description

Ruby stone is considered one of the precious stones. Ruby stone is available in pink to dark red color. Element chromium makes its appearance red. The best quality Ruby has pigeon blood-red and is very smooth in touch with fine and sharp cut and shape.

In Astrology, gemstones are recommended on the basis of placement of planets in a horoscope. Ruby represents Sun which is one of the luminaries in our universe. Sun is also considered as father or king and denotes authority, courage, and dignity. Sun is also the soul of an individual.
