Why these stones suit Leo
Ruby (Yaqoot) — Yaqoot
Ruby is corundum (aluminium oxide) with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, pinkish-red to deep pigeon-blood red. In astrology it is linked with the Sun and recommended for Leo (July birthstone). It is worn on the ring finger of the right hand, set in gold or copper, first worn on a Sunday morning. Price is set by colour saturation first (pigeon-blood commands the premium), then clarity, carat weight and whether the stone is untreated, heated or glass-filled.
Peridot — Zabarjad
Peridot is olivine (magnesium iron silicate) with a hardness of 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, yellowish-green to olive green. In astrology it is linked with Mercury and recommended for Leo and Virgo (August birthstone). It is worn on a ring on the little finger or a pendant, set in silver or gold, on a Wednesday. Price is set by colour (pure green without brown is most valued), clarity, carat weight and cut — Pakistani Sapat peridot commands a premium.

| Peridot | Mercury | A ring on the little finger or a pendant, set in silver or gold, on a Wednesday | Peridot is sensitive to acids and sudden temperature change; clean with mild soap and water only, never steam… |
