Like a perfect red rose, the Ruby has a rich red \u00a0color that speaks of love and passion. \u00a0It is called the “Rajnapura” or King of Gems by ancient Hindus. July’s birthstone is among the most highly prized of gems throughout history.<\/p>\n

The Ruby was considered to have magical powers, and was worn by royalty as a talisman against evil.\u00a0 It was thought to grow darker when peril was imminent, and to return to its original color once danger was past\u2014provided it was in the hands of its rightful owner!<\/p>\n

The word Ruby comes from the Latin “ruber,” meaning red.\u00a0 It is a variety of the mineral Corundum, and is found as crystals within metamorphic rock. It comes in a variety of colors, and is considered a Sapphire in any color except red, which is designated as a Ruby.\u00a0 Rubies range in hue from an orangey red to a purplish red, but the most prized gems are a true red in color.\u00a0 Large sized Rubies are very rare and valuable.<\/p>\n

It has been said that the Ruby’s red glow comes from an internal flame that cannot be extinguished, making a gift of this stone symbolic of everlasting love.\u00a0 With its hardness and durability, it is a perfect engagement gem.\u00a0 And if worn on the left hand, ancient lore has it that the Ruby will bring good fortune to its wearer, too!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
