History and General information of Ruby Gem -The July Birthstone
The ruby gemstone is next only to the diamond in terms of hardness and pricing. For a ruby to be born in the natural environment, a perfect combination of aluminum oxide, correct temperature, correct pressure in the earth’s crust and very low silicon content is a requisite. This makes rubies very rarely available gems in nature.
Ruby is one of the navagraha stones (stones that represent the nine planets that h...ave a cosmic influence on all earthlings) representing the Sun (Ravi) and is related to our soul.
Rubies are considered a symbol of love and passion, thus making this gem as desirable today as it has been for centuries. This desire to own the exclusive “RED FIRE” makes it one of the most valuable gemstones in the market.
