Ruby

Ruby is a form of corundum, red in colour due to the presence of chromium.
The word ruby originates from ‘rubeus’ the Latin word for red.
For thousands of years, Ruby was considered the stone of love, energy, passion, power, and a zest for life. Ruby is a symbol of good fortune, pure love, and loyalty.
