Ruby is a July Birthstone for the Cancer zodiac which is a water sign. The ruby injects warm, life-giving solar energy into the sensitive water realm of Cancer helping them break out of defensive shells and speak with absolute confidence. Ruby is ruled by the Sun with the primary element of fire. Ruby connects the Root Chakra (Grounding, Survival, Wealth) & Heart Chakra (Love Passion, and Emotional Courage), aligning your daily survival instincts with your deepest emotional goals. 

 For thousands of years, ruby has been called “King of Precious Stones”, and has also been called “The Stone of Kings”. Historically, ruby has been considered the most valuable gemstone on earth, far outranking diamonds in rarity and status. In medieval Europe, rubies were the ultimate status symbol for kings, queens, and religious authorities. It was widely believed that a ruby would darken in color if danger, illness, or betrayal was approaching its wearer, acting as a royal alarm system.

  Along the ancient Silk Road, Chinese noblemen and merchants utilized rubies as currency and protective talismans. In the 2nd century BCE, Chinese emperors wore massive rubies on their crowns to invite intellectual enlightenment and political power. 

  In ancient Burma (modern-day Myanmar)—the historic birthplace of the world's finest rubies—warriors believed that rubies granted complete invincibility in battle. However, simply wearing the stone on a ring or necklace wasn’t enough. To achieve true invincibility, warriors would physically insert the rubies into their flesh, embedding them into their skin so the stone became part of their lifeblood. Wearing a ruby is thought to instill courage and self confidence. Ruby can help individuals overcome fears and face challenges with determination. Ruby is also believed to offer protection for negative energies. In the Old Testament, the ruby is mentioned multiple times as a symbol of ultimate beauty and wisdom. It was placed as the very first stone in the breastplate of Aaron, the High Priest, representing the tribe of Judah and the divine fire of God. Rubies are often associated with increased energy, vitality, and motivation. They are believed to boost one's enthusiasm for life and help overcome lethargy. 

  As a fiery stone of passion, ruby resonates deeply with the Mars-ruled energy of Aries and Scorpio. It channels raw, volatile emotions into focused ambition, courage, and unstoppable drive. Because the Sun rules Leo, the ruby serves as the ultimate cosmic amplifier for Leos. It acts like a battery pack, enhancing their natural leadership skills, creative fire, and magnetic star power while protecting them from burnout. Ruby is considered to enhance romantic relationships by igniting passion and deepening love between partners. Historically, rubies were exchanged as engagement stones long before diamonds became popular. This is because ruby represents devotion. Metaphysically, it deepens the emotional commitment between partners, making the relationship resilient against outside temptations or third-party interference.

Rubies are associated with heart health and believed to improve circulation and support overall cardiovascular well being. 

  Ruby is a sister stone to sapphire, which are actually both made of corundum. The only chemical difference is that if the corundum is red, it is a ruby; if it is blue, green, or pink, it is a sapphire. The deep red color of a ruby is caused by trace amounts of the element chromium. However, chromium also causes severe internal fractures in the crystal structure as it grows. Because of this, finding a natural ruby over 3 carats with clean clarity is one of the rarest geological phenomena on earth. 

 The most expensive and sought-after rubies in the world feature a specific color grading called ”Pigeons Blood”. This is a highly saturated, vibrant red with a soft, subtle purplish undertone. When viewed in natural daylight, the chromium causes the stone to fluoresce, making it look like it is glowing from the inside out. The most expensive ruby ever sold is the The “Estrela de FURA” (Portuguese for Star of Fura) weighing 55.22 carats and sold at $34.8 million. The next being the The “Sunrise Ruby," a 25.59-carat Burmese Pigeon's Blood ruby. It sold at auction for a staggering $30.4 million.

  Over half of the words ruby supply is mined in Mozambique, and then Myanmar (Burma) being famous for the Pigeon Blood Ruby. Madagascar has recently been an emerging source of rubies since the early 2000s. The Andilamena mine yields an incredible variety of both high-fluorescence metamorphic stones and high-clarity basalt rubies. Thailand & Cambodia are known for producing dark and moody “Siamese rubies” out of basalt deposits. High-altitude metamorphic rubies are mined along the tectonic crush zones of the Himalayas, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and Vietnam. Minor deposits also exist in Greenland and the United States (North Carolina and Montana).
