Antique 19thC 3ct India Ruby Ancient Hindu Magic Warrior Invulnerability Amulet

Weight: 3 Carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) In Sankskrit. An ancient language of India(source of much of the ancient world's ruby) ruby was called"ratnaraj" which means"King of Gems" Rubies were sorted into upper class, middle class, and lower class stones in relation to their color, flawlessness and beauty. Much like Indian society today, no inferior ruby was allowed contact with an upper class ruby because it was believed the low-caste ruby would contaminate the better one, thereby diminishing its magical powers. Ruby was sometimes worn beneath ... morethe skin by warriors as a protective talisman with the belief that the ruby would give them courage and make them invulnerable. In the ancient classical world, rubies from Afghanistan, Ceylon, and Burma were traded in the ancient port cities of the Eastern Mediterranean(often by Phoenicians) and from there traveled throughout Europe. Here's a beautiful. Nice quality antique oval ruby that originated in Mysore, India. This particular gemstone is known as a"silky" ruby- translucent and not transparent- it is hand shaped and faceted and possesses great color. While not individually discernable, most natural rubies, much more common than clear specimens, have inclusions that contribute to their silky appearance. As long as these inclusions are colorless they are acceptable, changing the gem from transparent to translucent. The rich, ruby red color is preserved and the gemstone is breathtaking in luster. By contrast the highest quality rubies, which can cost thousands of dollars per carat, are completely transparent and appear as colored glass. However most of the“gemstones” which are sold as such high quality rubies are of synthetic manufacture. Read the fine print.

Most natural rubies are blemished with colorless crystalline material, widely dispersed, which while not individually discernable, nonetheless impart a translucent"silky" appearance to the gemstone.

TRANSLATE Arabic Chinese French German Greek Indonesian Italian Hindi Japanese Korean Swedish Portuguese Russian Spanish Antique Genuine Natural Russian Three Carat Faceted Burnt Orange Colored Zircon Faceted Oval Semi-Precious Gemstone. CLASSIFICATION: Faceted Orange Zircon Oval. ORIGIN: Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 7 1/2mm. Width: 6mm. All measurements approximate. WEIGHT: Approximately 2.92 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstone as a ring. Pendant, or into earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: In ancient history the first references zircon are in Hindu mythology. Many thousands of years ago in a poem about the“Kalpa” tree, described as a glowing tree draped with gemstones, with leaves made of zircons. The word“zircon” originated in the 18th century from the Persian word"zargon" which means"gold ... morecolored" due to the yellow color of the zircon gemstones found there. During Europe’s Middle Ages zircon was worn by travelers as a protective amulet, and was believed to ward off both lightning strikes and the plague(black death” It was also believed to lose it sparkle and luster at the approach of danger, thus warning the wearer of peril. Historically the colorless form of natural Zircon, known as“Matara diamond” has been very costly as Zircon comes very close to diamonds in fire and brilliancy due to its high refractive index. Here's a remarkably gorgeous. Sparkling, one-of-a-kind burnt orange colored zircon faceted oval with all the flash and brilliance of a diamond. Renown for the production of the fabled gemstones and jewelry of Russian Czars from the Medieval through Renaissance and Victorian Eras, this gemstone was hand cut and hand polished by a Russian artisan. This stunningly brilliant gemstone was hand faceted into this sparkling oval in the 19th century for use in indigenous jewelry. It looks ever so much like an orange colored diamond. Zircon was used for centuries as a diamond substitute, and in general can easily fool most anyone, even many jewelers, in
