These hearts are forged in the forge of time, holding the raw, unpolished passion of the sun's own eternal light! Ruby is known as the "Stone of Nobility" and is considered one of the most powerful gems in the mineral kingdom. Ruby is the ultimate stone for vitality. It is believed to stimulate the "Chi" (life force energy) throughout the body, helping to overcome exhaustion and lethality. The visible inclusions (the little specks and "clouds" inside) are actually seen by many healers as "maps" of the stone's journey. They make the energy of these rubies feel more relatable and supportive for daily life, rather than being "cold" or distant. Ruby encourages you to "follow your bliss." It helps clear the mind of self-doubt and fuels the motivation needed to pursue your deepest desires. Historically, rubies have been used to spark passion in relationships and increase sensory awareness. Ruby has long been a symbol of royalty. Metaphysically, it is used to help the wearer retain wealth and attract new opportunities for prosperity. Because of its deep red color, ruby is strongly associated with the Root Chakra. It helps you feel safe, secure, and physically present in your body. It "grounds" the high-vibration energy of spirit into the physical world.
