If you try to find the most famous ruby in the world that would be in the UK Crown Jewels, named Black Prince's Ruby, it was worn in battle and the black prince was struck by a sword directly on the gem, but it didn't break and saved his life. Before the British it was in India named the Timur Ruby by the Muslims who stole it from the Hindu Rajas, before that it was (said by some historians as) the Maharaja Ruby, and before that it might have been the Syamantaka Gem given by Suryadev to Satrajit.
The interesting thing is that 60 years ago modern science discovered that it is a Red Spinel, not a ruby. But still it is called the most famous "ruby" on Earth. Never underestimate the powers of red spinel to attract Suryadeva.
