Description

Lovely hand selected natural shaped Ruby crystals from Madagascar. You will receive one Ruby crystal, the photo shows an example of the ones we have available, each one is approx 16 - 20mm long.

Ruby is the name given to the red variety of the mineral Corundum- all other colours of it are given the name Sapphire. The name derives from the Latin word 'ruber', describing its colour. They have been prized for centuries for their colour, and many ancient civilisations valued them higher than diamonds. During the Renaissance for example, Rubies were worth 8 x Diamonds, and Emeralds were worth 4 x Diamonds.

In the mid 1800s, Sapphires and Emeralds were of equal value and worth less than half a diamond, whilst a larger perfect Ruby would still far exceed a Diamond of the same weight. The most desired colour of Ruby is known as Pigeon's Blood, and comes from Myanmar. In 2015 a Burmese Ruby ring, the Sunrise Ruby, which holds the title for the largest coloured gemstone in the world, sold at auction for $30 million to an anonymous buyer. Other important Ruby deposits are found in Thailand, Sri Lanka and Tanzania, with the colours varying from each location.

Ruby Healing Properties include:

  • Stimulates the Base or Root Chakra
  • Increases concentration and motivation
  • Boosts desire and sexual energy
  • Increases courage
  • Very protective and shielding, especially for the home

Reviews

“I’ve bought literally hundreds of crystals and mineral specimens from them over the past few years and they’ve always exceeded my expectations, with many a ‘oh wow!!!’ moment”

– Gemma Nelson

“The CC is always the first business I recommend to anyone who is interested in buying crystals, as I know they will never be disappointed by what they'll receive. The pictures on the website are always true to how they actually look, (no photo manipulation to make stones look bigger or more vibrant) and honestly look even more stunning once you see them in person.”
