Ruby, like sapphire, is a variant of the mineral corundum and a birthstone (of July). It has long been associated with strength and nobility. Meditating with a piece will allow you to align your lower chakras and will act as a conductor for your inner energy. Sapphires and rubies share the same chemical formula and are the same mineral, but rubies are always red and sapphires are every color besides red. It makes a wonderful stone for jewelry due to its durability and is the third hardest stone on Moh’s Scale of Hardness, after moissanite (9.5) and diamond (10).
