The
Ruby -
July’s Stone
By Bonnie McMillan
Ruby is the accepted birthstone for July. It is also
the accepted anniversary gemstone for the 15th and
40th year.
The finest rubies emanate from Burma. Other areas
include Thailand, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Kenya,
Tanzania, Cambodia, Afghanistan, India, Russia, and
Madagascar. Uncut rubies are easily available and
the cut and polished ones are expensive. The highest
quality rubies are said to protect their owners from
all kinds of misfortune. A fine ruby assured the
owner he would live in harmony with his neighbors.
It would protect his stature in life, his home and
land. Its protective powers were intensified when
set in jewelry. Ruby is a stone of abundance and
helps to maintain wealth.
Ruby is an excellent energy stone. Ruby is known to
sometimes over-stimulate irritable and sensitive
people. Ruby is the "heart chakra" stone and
balances the heart. This stone is a powerful shield
against psychic attack. Ruby detoxifies the body,
calms hyperactivity and helps to overcome
exhaustion.
