Ruby stone prices varies steeply even within the same variety because of several quality factors. Origin, color, clarity and uniqueness, collectively influence the price of ruby. Ruby stone prices in India can range anywhere between Rupees 450 to 2 Lakhs ($12 to $1600) per carat, even above.

Origin- Burmese Ruby is the most expensive ruby origin because of its exceptional color quality. However, African rubies too command high ruby rate in the market nowadays. On per carat basis, Old Burma ruby can cost between Rupees 90000- 120,000 ($1400 to $1600), Mozambique Ruby can draw up to Rupees 90000- 120,000 ($1400 to $1600). While Thailand ruby is economical, costing up to just Rupees 5000 ($70), Indian ruby is even cheaper.

Color- Color of ruby single handedly influences the manik ratan price. Dark red or pigeon blood color is the most desirable ruby color and draws exorbitant pricing. Ruby price per carat decreases as we move across from deep red rubies to vibrant red ruby, pink ruby and purple ruby.

Treatment- Being precious, rubies are quite vulnerable to profiteering. Low quality rubies are often colored or heat treated for extensive margins. An original ruby gemstone is usually expensive (depending on the origin) than synthetic ruby o glass filled rubies. A genuine, untreated ruby bought at cheaper prices should always be seen with suspicion.

Clarity- Clarity is broadly judged by the brightness and volume of inclusions found in the ruby gemstone. A real ruby gemstone will almost always have visible or invisible inclusions. Rubies with inclusions not visible to the naked eye are extremely rare and thus highly expensive. Manik ratan price per carat will be significantly high for such natural, inclusions free ruby.

Carat Weight- A flawless, natural ruby gemstone above a few carats, is rare to find, even rarer than diamonds. Therefore, ruby price per carat increases exponentially when moving from one carat ruby to three of four carat ruby.


Cut- The way a ruby is cut can contribute around 10-20% to the cost of Ruby. Faceted cut ruby is brilliantly enhanced but incurs significant stone wastage as well. For the same quality, a faceted ruby costs higher than ruby cabochon.

Ruby stone (meaning Manikya in Hindi) is a rare and highly popular gemstone. A high quality ruby comes from a reputed origin, displays balance in color saturation & consistency with minimal contamination. International gemstone market uses globally accepted standards to assess the quality of rubies which can help customers understand how much rubies worth are.

Origin- Burmese ruby or Old Burma ruby is the most popular ruby origin because of its brilliant color saturation and consistency. However, discovery of new ruby mines in Africa and Asia, has expanded the choice range for customers by giving away new varieties like Mozambique ruby. Thailand ruby and Afghanistan ruby.

Color- Of all the quality factors, color of ruby has the most profound impact on the overall value of rubies. Dark red but well balanced, color-consistent ruby gemstones are more desirable. Pigeon blood color is the most sought-after ruby stone color but is immensely rare and may cost millions for a fine quality piece.

Clarity- Clarity of ruby is judged by the number, size, location and angle of natural imperfections or inclusions found in the Manik ratan. Majority of rubies are lightly or heavily included with visible inclusions. A ruby with see-through clarity or inclusions not visible to the naked eye is extremely rare and undoubtedly expensive.

It is important to know that gemstone prices in India are calculated both in Carats as well as Ratti. Ruby price per ratti will always amount equal to ruby price per carat.

This rarity further gest reflected in ruby prices which remain subjective to origin, color, size and clarity of the gemstone.

Ruby prices begin from as low as Rupees 450 and trend up to Rupees 2 lakh per carat ($12 to $1600).
