Yaqoot Stone

Yaqoot — also spelled Yakoot or Yaqut — is the Arabic and Urdu name for Ruby, known as Manik in Hindi, Ratnaraj in Sanskrit, and called the King of Gemstones across virtually every gemological tradition in the world. The word Yaqoot has deep roots in Islamic gemological literature — referenced in classical Arabic texts on minerals and precious stones as the most prized of all red gems. Yaqoot holds a revered place in the gemstone traditions of the Arab world, Persia, and the broader Muslim world, where it was used in royal jewellery and described in great detail by medieval Islamic scholars. As the Ratna of Surya (the Sun) in Vedic astrology, Yaqoot is worn to activate confidence, leadership, vitality, and the soul's deepest sense of purpose. Read More...

Colour & Quality: The finest Yaqoot displays a vivid, pure red of extraordinary depth — the legendary pigeon blood red of Burmese Mogok origin. Colour is the primary value factor — pure red with no orangey or brownish undertones commands the highest price. Transparency and lustre are equally important — the finest Yaqoot is eye-clean with a brilliant adamantine lustre and strong internal glow. Natural, unheated Yaqoot is the only standard for genuine astrological and investment-grade quality.

Origin: Burmese Yaqoot from the Mogok Valley is the global benchmark. Mozambique Ruby offers vivid deep red colour as a strong and accessible alternative. Both origins are stocked at Shubh Gems.

Astrological Use: Yaqoot strengthens the Sun, builds confidence and authority, and is recommended for Singh (Leo) ascendants.

Price: Natural certified Yaqoot ranges from ₹8,000 to ₹1,00,000+ per carat.

Shubh Gems offers 100% natural unheated Yaqoot certified by IGI, GIA, or IIGJ. Over 25 years of trust. The jewel of kings and scholars — now yours.
