Majestic Ruby, Stone of July

Origins and story of rubies:

The ruby is the red variety of Corundum, it's majestic colour comes from traces of chromium. It is the only precious stone in this family not to be called Sapphire. Chrome's fluorescent properties give the ruby a real inner fire but also limit the size of the stones as the chrome prevents the crystals from growing and cause cracking. A top quality ruby often fetches a higher price than an equivalent diamond as they are far rarer. Only 1% of mined rubies can be used in jewellery.
Favoured by Maharajahs, Chahs and Kalifes over the centuries, the ruby with its blood red colour is associated to vitatlity, power, strength and passion.
Like sapphires, rubies are very hard stones, 9 on the Mohs scale.
