Description from the seller
Raw natural ruby
Ruby is the name given to the red variety of the mineral corundum. Because of the small amounts of chromium, the red hue of these crystals ranges from deep purple to intense blood red. The gem is a very hard crystal, which makes it ideal for use as a precious stone. The name derives from the Latin "rubeus", meaning "red".
The "rubinus lapislazzuli" is one of the rarest gems and therefore the most precious. 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. Hildegard of Bingen used its healing powers to treat pain and fever. It was thought that the color changes of the stone were a portent of plague.
Once the ruby was the stone of kings and nobles. It was said to grant vitality to the wearer and allow them to enjoy life to the fullest.
The total weight is 27 g.
