Read on to learn all about the stone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>History of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/diamonds-gems\/ruby-jewelry\">Ruby<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The word ruby comes from the Latin \u201crubeus,\u201d meaning red. Rubies have been mined for at least 2,500 years, if not longer, and were first found in ancient Burma. The gems were so well loved in India that even modern Sanskrit has quite a few beautiful, descriptive names for them, the most popular being \u201cratnaraj,\u201d meaning \u201cking of precious stones.\u201d The Indian people believed rubies symbolized tolerance, incredible strength, passion and protection. In fact, ancient warriors used to bring them into battle. Of course, as word spread about these lovely gems, they became prominent in other cultures too, including among the wealthy and royalty in medieval Europe. Today, they\u2019ve become a representation of love, passion, power and desire\u2014not to mention being designated the official birthstone of July and the 50<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary stone.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/diamonds-gems\/ruby-jewelry\">Rubies<\/a>?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Rubies are made of a mineral called corundum, which is technically what sapphires are made of too. The gorgeous red hue comes from the mixing of corundum with the tiniest bit of chromium oxide, which is responsible for the varying color spectrum of rubies.<\/p>\n<p>These gems aren\u2019t just known for their gorgeous red color\u2014they\u2019re also known for their durability, coming in second only to diamonds, which makes them the perfect choice for lifelong jewelry and family heirlooms. If you have jewelry with a large natural ruby in it, you\u2019re one lucky duck. While smaller rubies aren\u2019t too hard to find, large rubies over a carat in size are pretty rare.<\/p>\n<p>Wondering what the absolute rarest type of ruby is? Some rubies display an \u201casterism\u201d star with three or six points, or sometimes a cat-eye effect known as chatoyancy. Rubies without imperfections are also incredibly elusive\u2014tiny needlelike clusters referred to as \u201csilk\u201d are almost always present in any natural ruby. Keep that in mind when buying rubies, because if you\u2019re being presented a flawless natural one, it should cost you approximately your firstborn child. Inclusions in a ruby should not be seen as a flaw, but as an indication that it is not synthetic.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/diamonds-gems\/ruby-jewelry\">Ruby Jewelry<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3939 lazyload\" title=\"National Museum of Natural History\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.shaneco.com\/theloupe\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/July-Social-Images_Blog_Ruby-Stone-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"July Social Images_Blog_Ruby-Stone\" width=\"237\" height=\"144\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 237px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 237\/144;\" \/>We know you\u2019ve heard of the Hope Diamond, but have you ever heard of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.christies.com\/about\/press-center\/releases\/pressrelease.aspx?pressreleaseid=5566\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hope Ruby<\/a>?
