Heated Jyotish Rubies

Surya - Sun - Ruby - Sunday

Ruby is the gemstone for Surya/Sun.

The best rubies come from Myanmar (formerly Burma). Vietnamese grades into Burma and is similar. Fine Thai ruby, although extinct at the mines, is also acceptable.

Color: Red, to slightly violet-red, to slightly pinkish-red. Clarity: Rubies are a type two gemstone. Some minor inclusions using a loupe at 10x are acceptable, but gems should be eye flawless. Clarity should be VS1 or better.

Size: Fine Jyotish quality Rubies (as well as diamonds) are more powerful than other gems and most people do not require a minimum of two carats. 1.00 carat to 1.50 carat is the minimum for Rubies.

Cut: Look for good symmetry.

Shape: Oval, Cushion, Round, Emerald cut.

Enhancements: Regular heating is OK. Because the Sun is a hot planet, regular heating of rubies does not spoil their effects. Unheated rubies are super rare and desirable, although not required.

Beware: Avoid Beryllium diffusion heated rubies of Madagascar and Tanzanian origin, new lead-glass heated rubies (which are of poor quality, heavily treated and unstable), and glass filled cavities on back of gem. Also avoid brownish and overly dark tones.
