Ruby Gems

by: padre art

Ruby gems are the red variety of gem quality Corundum, the hardest natural substance next to Diamond.

This and its inherent toughness (resistance to chipping and cleaving), make Ruby gemstones perfect jewelry gift ideas for that lasting sentiment.

The French Royal Phillipe de Valois proclaimed;

“The Ruby is the Lord of Gems, Gem of Gems, and surpasses all other precious stones in virtue.”

The Ruby reaches into prehistory as the central jewel of the traditional jewelry naoratna (nararatna), the ‘nine-gem jewel’, where it represents the Sun in that zodiac talisman.

No trouble shall their brows adorn

If they this glowing gem have worn,
The Ruby

Ruby gems hold the top spot for December birthstones (others being Turquoise, Zircon, Spinel and Tanzanite) and it is the talisman gemstone for Friday.

Success will bless whate’er you do.
December gives her fortune, love and fame
If amulet of Rubies bear her name.
