Ruby is the birthstone for July & the gem of choice for royalty. It is also a traditional gift for those celebrating 15th or 40th anniversaries. Rubies are extremely strong, registering 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. They are as resilient as sapphires (& related to them) and only slightly softer than diamonds. Here's Fun: Natural Rubies are Typically a Pinkish Red (not Kool-aid-red) & They Flouresce! So, check it out under a black light! :D It's Science!
They're also believed to bring good luck, success, prosperity, motivation and courage, promote self-love and a positive outlook & inspire creativity, loyalty, honor, and compassion... Doesn't THAT sound great?!
