Historical and Cultural Use:
Ruby has been one of the most prized gemstones throughout history, celebrated for its vibrant red colour and brilliance. Known as the "king of gems," it has been revered since ancient times and was worn by royalty and high priests as a symbol of power, wealth, and protection. Rubies were also believed to provide the wearer with invincibility in battle, love, and fortune. In many cultures, rubies have been embedded in armour, encrusted in jewellery, and considered a talisman of prosperity and success.
Geological Properties:
Rubies belong to the corundum family of minerals, which also includes sapphires. What differentiates a ruby from sapphire is its colour, caused by chromium impurities. The most desired shade of ruby is often called "pigeon's blood," a deep red with a hint of blue. Rubies can show fluorescence when exposed to ultraviolet rays, adding to their intensity. They typically form in metamorphic rocks and are most often mined from marble-hosted deposits.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Rubies are believed to energize and balance, stimulate heart chakra and encourage a passion for life, but they are also said to calm hyperactivity in some individuals. They promote a clear mind, increased concentration and motivation, and bring a sense of power to the wearer, boosting self-confidence and adventurousness. Ruby is also considered to be protective of home, worldly possessions, and children.
