Brief History
Before we dive into the astrological world of rubies, let’s do a recap of the birthstone itself! Known as the “king of gems”, rubies are part of the mineral corundum family, and ranks a 9 on the Mohs scale. Curious as to how they get their unique shade of red? That would be all thanks to chromium! While there are a few different shades of red that this birthstone can be found in, the most coveted is the deep, pigeon’s blood shade. Lastly, the origin of the name ruby comes from the Sanskrit word “manika”.
