A famous quote about ruby, If I decide to make a coat red in the show, it's not just red, I think: is it communist red? Is it cherry cordial? Is it ruby red? Or is it apple red? Or the big red balloon red?

Very few things catch the eye like the ruby birthstone. It’s one of the most coveted of gems. It is deep pink to blood red-colored, precious gemstone of the Corundum family. The name Ruby is derived from the Latin word ruber meaning red. The finest color of the birthstone for July is a deep red with a purple hint, called pigeon’s blood in the trade.

Geologist believes red color is caused by chromium (the more chromium, the stronger the red) and in case of brownish tones due to the presence of iron. Ruby is one of the most popular jewelry stones because of its exceptionally durable. It is used in various forms of jewelry, including bracelets, necklaces, rings, and earrings.

In ancient India, ruby was called the king of precious stones for its rarity, hardness, beauty, and seemingly mystical powers. Long affiliated with the life force blood, ruby was a symbol of power and youthful energy in Indian jewelry.

In past centuries, some believed this birthstone for July could predict misfortune or danger, and others claimed it would cure inflammatory diseases and soothe anger. Burmese warriors believed it made them invincible in battle. In fact, warriors in Burma would implant rubies into their skin before battle for protection and courage on the battlefield. Medieval Europeans maintained that rubies bestowed health, wisdom, wealth, and success in love.
