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.
