About Ruby
Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum, ranging from orangy red to purplish red. Its colour comes from traces of chromium, and more chromium gives a stronger red.
Birthstone
July
Hardness
9 (Mohs)
Everyday wear
Ruby is very hard with excellent toughness and no cleavage, so it resists breaking and suits rings worn every day.
Care
Warm, soapy water is always safe. Ultrasonic and steam cleaning are usually fine for untreated or heat-treated ruby, but glass-filled, cavity-filled or dyed stones should only be wiped with a damp cloth and kept away from even mild acids such as lemon juice.
Meaning and tradition
Traditionally associated with passion, love and life, because early cultures linked its red colour to blood. In folklore, Burmese warriors believed ruby made them invincible, and in India it was thought to help its owner live peacefully with rivals.
Meanings and traditions are beliefs people have held about these stones, not proven effects, and are no substitute for medical advice.
