Ruby

Ruby is a radiant red gemstone long revered as a “Stone of Life Force,” courage, and passionate love. Celebrated in cultures across the globe—from ancient India to medieval Europe—as a symbol of nobility, divine protection, and the sacred heart, Ruby energizes the soul and awakens the fire within. It is a gem of devotion, vitality, and unwavering strength. Whether found as a pure crystal or embedded within other minerals like zoisite, kyanite, or fuchsite, Ruby ignites the will to live with purpose, love deeply, and act boldly.
