Ruby gets its name from the Latin word for red, ruber. For centuries, rubies have been mined, collected, traded, treasured and used in fashion, such as the breastplate of high priests and to adorn weapons. Ruby is known as the gemstone of nobles. “Blood red” rubies are considered the most valuable. In some ancient cultures, ruby gemstones were used to cast lots to predict the future. Ancients believed it sured all other precious stones in virtue, and its value exceeded even that of the Diamond. The Chinese Emperor Kublai Khan was said to have offered an entire city in exchange for a sizable Ruby. The ruby was once the most valued of all precious stones. One of the Sanskrit names for ruby is ratnaraj, meaning “King of Precious stones”. Rubies have also been called the “Tears of Buddha”.

This unique crystal has been known to exist since before the time of the Bible, but up until the early 1800’s, many Rubies consisted of what is now known as red Spinels and Garnets.

Chakras and the Color of Ruby

Color ranges of ruby crystal are pinks, deep reds, and orangey red. Ruby is commonly identified with the root chakra due to its reddish hues, but is also can be used quite effectively to energetically stimulate the heart chakra. Ruby can be used to shore up any leakages occurring in the chakra system. If you are feeling low energetically it could be an indicator that your life sustaining energies are escaping through breaks in the auric field. Ruby can not only help repair leakages, but can also unlock blockages that are causing stagnation. It balances through creating movement, allowing energies to flow about more freely and positively. Ruby is a powerful grounding stone.

Ruby is often used in dream work, and sometimes divination. It protects against nightmares, aids in lucid dreaming and can sometimes be used to help with communication between guides and entities.

When one feels the need for protection they can grasp it and visualise it surrounding them with warm, protective energy. This, in turn, will aid in protection from psychic attack.
