RUBY

Ruby is a precious red variety of corundum, typically found in metamorphic rocks such as marble and basaltic formations. Its rich crimson to deep red colour, often with a vitreous lustre, makes it one of the most prized gemstones. In folklore, ruby has long been associated with passion, protection, and vitality. Metaphysically, it is believed to stimulate the heart chakra, enhancing courage, energy, and self-confidence. The stone is said to inspire love, strength, and emotional balance, while fostering clarity and motivation.
