The Natural Ruby Stone (Manik Stone) market has many imitations and treated stones sold as natural. Watch out for these common issues.
Synthetic rubies (lab-grown) are chemically identical to natural ones but worth far less. Always ask for a lab certificate.
Glass-filled rubies have fractures filled with lead glass to improve transparency. These are low-quality and damage easily.
Spinel and garnet are commonly sold as Natural Ruby Stone (Manik Stone) . Both are red gemstones but have very different properties and values.
Heavily heated rubies are worth significantly less than unheated stones. A "no heat" certificate adds substantial value.
Always buy from reputed, certified dealers and insist on a lab certificate before any high-value purchase.
It is strongly advised to consult a qualified Vedic astrologer before wearing Natural Ruby Stone (Manik Stone) . Wearing it with a malefic Sun can amplify negative effects rather than positive ones.
The most reliable way is to get a certificate from GIA, GRS, or Gubelin. Real rubies have a hardness of 9 and will not scratch easily. A UV lamp test can also help identify glass-filled stones.
