For optimal benefit, embed the ruby stone in gold or silver. For this, you need to make sure that ruby weighs between 3 and 6 carats. The stone thrives in this weight range. Dip the ruby gemstone ring in milk, honey, and purified water for 20–30 minutes to purify and activate it. Start wearing the stone on Shukla Paksha, preferably between 5 and 6 a.m. on Sunday. Put it on your right ring finger. These crystals help clear chakras and provide protective measures, keeping trouble at bay.
