The yaqoot stone, also known as ruby is known as the master of all stones. However, it is also the most expensive. This stone is believed to have many benefits such as dignity and beauty, as well as help the wearer with sadness and bring the wearer safety. But again, the yaqoot is not as frequently worn as the aqeeq and feroza because of the amount of money it can cost.
One of the ceremonial offerings Hindus leave at various temples consists of gems and jewelry. Regarding those who gift rubies, the Harita Smriti says: “He who worships Krishna with rubies will be reborn as a powerful emperor. If with a small ruby, he will be born a king.”
The ruby has quite the reputation and is sacred among many for its healing powers and such.
