Methods to Wear Ruby Stone (Manik Stone)

The weight of the gemstone worn for astrological purposes depends on the body weight of the wearer. It is calculated as per the fixed ratio by the qualified astrologers. For the best effects, chuni stone may be set in gold, copper or panchadhatu.

To prepare the ring or the pendant for wearing, place it at the bottom of a metal bowl and add the following one by one:

1. Ganga Jal
2. Tulsi leaves (Indian Basil)
3. Unboiled cow’s milk
4. Honey
5. Ghee (clarified butter)

The ruby stone can be made into a ruby ring or a ruby pendant. If it is set into a ring then it should be worn on the Ring finger of the Right Hand on a Sunday Morning during sunrise in the Shukla Paksha phase of the moon. Once the ritual is complete, take the ruby gemstone ring/pendant out of the liquids and clean it with a fresh cloth. For activation of the gemstone recite the mantra of Surya Dev, 'Om Hrim Sum Suryay Namah' 108 times.

Please note that if you are already wearing a red coral then you may wear the ruby gemstone either as a pendant or as a ring on the ring finger of your left hand.
