The name for ruby in the ancient Indian language of Sanskrit is “ratnaraj,” which translates to “king of precious stones.” Thus, Ruby is a highly sought-after “regal” gemstone. It is believed that ruby brings wealth, protection, and a passion for life to its wearer.
They can fetch the highest price per carat in colored gemstones. This rich colored stone comes from exotic locations such as Vietnam, Madagascar, Thailand, and Myanmar, the once-famous Burma ruby location.
Ruby comes from the gemstone family  known as corundum and gets its rich red from the trace element of chromium. The more chromium there is, the higher saturated the stone is! Rubies are a nine on MOH’s scale for hardness, meaning they are very durable, and are good to be worn every day.
Rubies are the birthstone for July and the gemstone for a 15th and 40th anniversary.
