Ruby
The Gem Stone of the Sun
Ruby consists of Chromium and corundum. It acts as an antenna for red cosmic rays. Our sun rules the ruby. It can help cure leprosy, ulcers, fevers, and hearing and bone troubles. It warns people of many dangers. It increases dignity, respect, and honor and ensures a high status in life.
An ancient Sanskrit verse written 8,000 years ago states, “Whatever is inside you is outside you. Whatever is outside you is within you.” The air, water, fire, earth, and cosmic energy outside you is within you — and gemstones are the concentrated essence of Earth’s energy.
Gemstone energy works on your mind. When the mind is balanced, you will make fewer mistakes and have more time, money, and energy to construct a better future.
About Ruby
Ruby is red corundum — all other color varieties of corundum are referred to as sapphire. The ruby color range includes pinkish, purplish, orangey, and brownish red depending on the chromium and iron content of the stone.
Most authorities expect a medium to medium dark color tone in a ruby. As the old gem trade saying goes: “Whether it’s a ruby or a pink sapphire depends on whether you’re the buyer or the seller.”
Ruby is hard (9) and tough, making it a superb jewelry stone. It shows pleochroism — the color varies with direction of viewing. Burmese rubies often fluoresce so strongly that the effect is noticeable even in sunlight.
Value & Rarity
Rubies are the most valuable members of the corundum family. Large gem quality rubies can be more valuable than comparably sized diamonds and are certainly rarer. Clean, top color gems in the ½ to 1 carat range retail between $1,000 – $3,000 per carat.
Few other gems have as much myth, lore and romance surrounding them, with one of the chief attractions being the protection from misfortune and bad health that rubies were believed to afford their lucky owners.

This food comes from the upper layer of the Earth. If we go further down into the Earth, you will find the roots which help us to survive. If we go down further into the Earth, then we discover the minerals which we need to survive. The most essential element of the above mentioned breakdown of the Earth is the concentrated form of energy or as is known by Vedic science, the essence of Earth…or gemstones.The right proportions of food, air, water, and heat give us life and energy. Similarly, the right gemstones will provide a harmonious and more improved life. You may say that you don’t eat gemstones but you do eat food. Gemstones work the same way that lightening effects you, or how the Sun ray’s give you Vitamin D, or how the sound of soothing music relaxes you. The aroma of onions will make you cry even though you don’t touch them. Gemstone energy works on your mind. When the mind is balanced, you will make less mistakes and you will have more time, money, and energy to construct a better future.
You may still argue as to how a piece of rock will help you. Take for example a knife made out of iron. However, when the doctor uses the knife with the right knowledge, that piece of iron becomes a life saving tool. Vedic Astrological Science is based on the physics of Nature and the chemistry of the Earth. Combining the five basic elements: Fire, Water, Air, Earth, and Cosmic Energy, you conclude at Vedic astrological gemstones. The more you harmonize with these energies, the better conductivity of success will develop within you and around you. Nature provides these elements, without which you cannot exist. Therefore Nature controls your every second. Furthermore, Nature inspires the mind, which in turn influences the body to act positively or negatively according to the harmony of cosmic energy and environment. Remember, we generate the right prescription based upon your own very unique birth place, date, and time of birth.
Nature will not come knocking on your door to help you. You must take advantage of this light and put it to work for a better future.
Please Note Vedic Gemstones also known as Jyotish Gemstones, Astrological Gemstones, Healing Gemstones, Holistic Gems, Navratna, Jyotish Gems, Planetary Gems, Birthstones.
By wearing properly prescribed gemstones under proper supervision, you can benefit from the natural healing characteristics of Vedic astrological gemstones. We do not recommend these Vedic astrological gemstones to be applied in lieu of necessary medical attention. By no means is this information a self-help panacea. However, we do recommend the application of Vedic astrological gemstones in efforts to reduce discomfort in a natural and time-demanding situation. One must remember that we are not qualified medical experts.
However, we have empirical evidence that utilizes the examination of your horoscope and family background for a prescription. Our ‘dosages’ are monitored and are based on the size and type of gemstones.The ancient scientific scriptures consistently mention the relationship between color, planets, and gemstones. With the almost sacred color stratification, ROYGBIV (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet), we see the correlation perfectly. The cosmic rays that manifest themselves in various wavelengths (colors) have unique affects on the health of our mind and body. The purest of the ROYGBIV rays resides concentrated in precious gems, and so, the gems are of great curative value.

What we are trying to illustrate here are the fundamentals of our human existence. If we were to mix the below mentioned amounts of elements into a doll, then would the doll come to life? Of course not! Then you must know that something else is affecting us, namely, prana (cosmic energy).
The table below gives the amount of each chemical element found in the human body, from most to least abundant. For each element, there is the amount in mass units in an average (70-kilogram) person, the volume of the element, and the length of the side of a cube that would contain that amount of the pure element. Volumes of solid and liquid elements are based on density at or near room temperature (where available). For the gaseous elements (oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, chlorine, and fluorine), I chose to use the density of each in the liquid state at the respective boiling point.
Raw data from which this table was made are from Emsley, John, The Elements, 3rd ed., Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1998. This is a great trove of information, which I highly recommend for anyone wishing to learn more about the elements.
Note
Oxygen is the most abundant element in the earth’s crust and in the body. The body’s 43 kilograms of oxygen is found mostly as a component of water, which makes up 70% of total body weight. Oxygen is also an integral component of all proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and fats.
Rubidium is the most abundant element in the body (0.68 g) that has no known biological role (silicon, which is slightly more abundant, may or may not have a metabolic function).
Vanadium is the body’s least abundant element (0.11 mg) that has a known biologic role, followed by cobalt (3 mg), the latter being a constituent of vitamin B12.
The last of the body’s elements to be discovered was fluorine, by Moissan in 1886.
