Ruby
The Birthstone for July is the elegant Ruby. A beautiful red gemstone symbolic of romance, passion and energy. It is said to bring success and wealth while bestowing good fortune on the wearer. The ruby is second only to diamonds as the hardest natural gemstone. Rubies were said to contain the essence of life because they were believed to be formed from the blood of Mother Earth. Ancient Sanskrit translates rubies as the “king of precious stones.” Fun fact: Ruby is from the Latin word rubeus, meaning “red”, so calling something ruby red is redundant.
