RUBY
General information
Like sapphire, ruby is a variety of corundum, a mineral that forms hexagonal cylindrical crystals. Red corundum (brown-black to pinkish-red) is called ruby, and other colors are called sapphires.
Effect
Ruby provides strength and energy and has a strong activating effect (sometimes too much for sensitive people who are easily overstimulated). The stone activates the heart chakra and stimulates passion, drive, motivation, enthusiasm, spontaneity, sexual activity, a positive attitude, and abundance. Ruby strengthens and thus protects against psychological attacks and people who drain your energy. It promotes clear, sharp vision and concentration, and thus helps set realistic goals. Physically, the stone also provides strength and vitality and helps combat exhaustion and apathy. Ruby has a detoxifying effect and has a positive effect on blood circulation, fever, kidneys and adrenal glands, the reproductive organs, the spleen, and infectious diseases.
Care
Ruby can be cleansed and charged in all ways.
Applications
Ruby can be worn on or near the body, preferably on the skin.
For a stronger effect, the stone can be placed on the base chakra.
