AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Nix of raw natural minerals

Rubies, Tanzanite, Tsavorite, Zaffirs

Rubino is the name given to the red variety of the mineral corundum. Due to small amounts of chromium, the red hue of these crystals ranges from deep violet to intense blood red. The gemstone is a very hard crystal, making it ideal for use as a precious stone. The name derives from the Latin 'rubeus,' meaning 'red.'

The 'lapis lazuli' is one of the rarest and therefore most valuable gemstones. Diamond, emerald, sapphire, and ruby are known as the 'Big Four' of the gemstone world. The ruby is undoubtedly the fiery and capricious diva of the quartet.

In antiquity, the ruby was considered the mother of all precious stones. Ildegarda di Bingen harnessed its healing powers to treat pain and fever. It was believed that the stone's color changes were a sign of plague.

Once, the ruby was the stone of kings and nobles. It was said to give vitality to those who wore it and to allow them to enjoy life to the fullest.

The total weight is 74.33 g.
