I’ve come with my year of birthstone blog, starting with July’s Stone, the Ruby through my research; I found the ruby to be quite fascinating. It turns out that throughout history, the ruby was considered the most valuable of all stones, even more than a diamond. In the metaphysical world, it has the highest vibration of all stones, so high in fact, that it’s not a stone commonly used in mediation because it’s too darn energetic. Rubies represent love, passion and prosperity. Though I always think of rubies as red, they can actually range from a paler rose to a deep, crimson red (the most valuable). There can be a cast of orange, blue or purple to them, depending on where they are mined.



When you wear a ruby, here are some of the qualities it will help you with:
• A clear mind
• Brings a sense of adventure
• Self-confidence
• Motivation & high energy
• An aphrodisiac
• Gets rid of nightmares
• Courage
• Stone of manifestation/following your bliss
