- History: In the ancient language of Sanskrit, ruby is called ratnaraj, or “king of precious stones.” Some ancient cultures believed that rubies and other gemstones grew on trees, just like fruit. The rubies would begin budding as small white gems, and would slowly grow and ripen, turning red in the light of the sun.
- Metaphysical Properties: Rubies are believed to improve energy, concentration, creativity, loyalty, and compassion. Ruby is said to stimulate heart chakra and bring spiritual wisdom while shielding againt psychic attacks.
- Because gemstones are natural materials, appearances may vary from bead to bead
