July Birth Stone - Ruby (alternatively Cornelian) (content)
Ruby will be found in varying shades of red; deep, clear stones are desirable. Some may have seen "star rubies", these are cabachon (domed) stones that reflect an asterisk light effect on the domed surface. When flawless, a Ruby is more valuable than a diamond. Historically, the Ruby is associated with royalty & the power or life and death. It was attributed the power to prevent loss of blood, strengthen the heart, and negate poisons. They are a cousin to the Sapphire. Birth Flower(s): larkspur, water lily (The Larkspur means: laughter, levity and lightness.) |
