AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Mix of natural minerals

Rubies, emeralds, sapphires

Ruby is the name given to the red variety of the mineral corundum. Due to small quantities of chromium, the red hue of these crystals varies from intense violet to intense blood red. The gem is a very hard crystal, making it ideal for use as a precious stone. The name derives from the Latin "rubeus", meaning "red".

"Rubinus lapislazzuli" is one of the rarest and therefore most valuable gems. 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 ancient times, 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 an omen of plague.

Then we have 1 emerald crystal and 1 sapphire

At one time the ruby was the stone of rulers and nobles. It was said to grant vitality to the wearer and allow them to enjoy life to the fullest.

The total weight is 16.78 g
