Ruby is the red variety of corundum, an aluminum oxide mineral and one of the hardest gemstones on Earth, second to diamonds. Its red color comes from traces of chromium. Rubies form under extreme heat and pressure most often in metamorphic rocks such as basalt. The largest ruby deposits are found in Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Thailand, Cambodia, Madagascar, and Tanzania.
Ruby is linked to passion and life force energy. It is known to awaken the heart and soul, inspiring motivation to pursue one's dreams. It encourages love and emotional balance, while also helping to ground you in your purpose with determination and joy.
