Description from the seller

Rough 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 violet to deep 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 and therefore most precious gems. Diamond, emerald, sapphire, and ruby are known as the "Big Four" of the world of precious stones. 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 believed that the color changes of the stone were an omen of plague.

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