The July Birthstone
July's Birthstone is the Ruby.
Ruby is believed to promote loving, nurturing, health, knowledge and wealth. It has been associated with improved energy and concentration, creativity, loyalty, honor and compassion. Ruby is thought to be protective of home, possessions and family. Ruby is said to stimulate heart chakra and bring spiritual wisdom. Read more about rubies here. My jewelry shop uses red crystals to represent the Ruby.
I do have natural Ruby Zoisite. Ruby in zoisite is a combination of ruby and zoisite crystal. The only mining deposits have been found in Tanzania. Ruby in zoisite typically displays a green color but can also have pink and red inclusions.
