Ruby

Harmony

Ruby is the July birthstone and is highly desired for its gorgeous red hue. Ruby gemstones are a variety of corundum, one of the hardest minerals on Earth; just below diamonds on the Mohs scale. Rubies get their fiery color from trace elements such as chrome, iron, titanium or vanadium. Used throughout history for royal embellishment, the ruby is associated with nobility even in metaphysical beliefs. It is seen as a powerful stone promoting passion in all endeavors.
