On a physical and energetic level, Ruby has long been linked to vitality and a powerful flow of life energy through the body. Many people experience her warm radiance as invigorating, especially when energy is low and everything feels heavy. Ruby is associated with healthy circulation and an active constitution, which is why she has traditionally been seen as a stone that wakes the body up and sets it in motion. Anyone who feels exhausted or sluggish may experience the stimulating energy of Ruby as a welcome boost. The stone is also connected to a natural warmth that moves through you, helping you feel more grounded and present in your body. In this way Ruby can support you in regaining your physical resilience and stamina.
Please note: gemstones can offer support on an emotional and energetic level, but are never a substitute for medical or professional care. If you have any complaints or concerns, always consult your physician.
On a spiritual and emotional level, Ruby is the stone of passion, courage and unconditional zest for life. She stirs your inner fire and helps you live with conviction instead of waiting on the sidelines. Anyone who feels insecure or has lost sight of her own strength finds in Ruby a warm companion that strengthens self confidence. The stone encourages you to follow your heart and take your desires seriously, even when that takes courage.
In many ancient cultures Ruby was regarded as the king of gemstones. In the Indian tradition she carried the name ratnaraj, which literally means king of stones, and she was revered for her protective and life giving power. Warriors in Burma wore Ruby as a talisman, believing the stone made them invincible in battle. In European royal houses, too, Ruby adorned the crowns and jewelry of kings as a symbol of power, courage and passion.
Emotionally, Ruby helps you reconnect with what you truly feel. She opens the heart to love and warmth, while also helping you guard your boundaries from a place of strength rather than fear. For anyone who has lost a little of the passion in life or in love, Ruby can slowly bring that glow back.

With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, Ruby is an exceptionally strong and durable gemstone. You can safely clean her under lukewarm running water, as the stone is not sensitive to moisture. Afterwards, let her dry on a soft cloth. If you want to cleanse Ruby energetically, you can place her on a bed of Hematite Chips, which draws the absorbed energy back out of the stone. Cleansing with the smoke of Sage or Palo Santo is also a lovely and gentle way to purify the stone.
To charge Ruby, place her on a bed of Rock Crystal Chips, which replenishes and strengthens her energy. Avoid prolonged intense sunlight, because although Ruby is a stable stone, intense sun can cause the deep color of some specimens to fade over time. Store your Ruby in a calm, dry place where she will not knock against harder stones.
