ABOUT RUBY

Ruby is red corundum, all other varieties of corundum being referred to as sapphire. It is the combination of excellent hardness and rich color and silky shine that make fine ruby gems so valuable. Rubies range in color from pinkish to orangey-red, and purplish- to brownish-red, depending on the chromium and iron content of the stone. Most experts expect a medium to medium-dark color tone in a very good ruby gemstone.

MYTHOLOGY

According to legend, the owner of a ruby is assured a life of peace and plenty. The vivid red color of ruby also means that it is associated with desire, and it is thought by some to be a stone of love with an aphrodisiac effect. Medieval Europeans believed that rubies assured good health, prosperity, wisdom and a successful love life. Ruby is the birthstone for those born in July and is also the zodiacal stone for Capricorns. Ruby is used to celebrate the fifteenth and fortieth wedding anniversaries. The day assigned to ruby is Tuesday (hence the Rolling Stones song, "Ruby Tuesday"). Ruby is assigned to the planets Mars and Pluto.
