The ruby was considered in the ancient east to be the luckiest of gems, able to confer protection from all misfortunes manmade or natural. A member of the corundum family, ruby is primarily found in India, Burma and Ceylon. Sanskrit writing refers to it as “the king of gemsâ€. Because of its rich red color, ruby is thought to avert diseases of the blood and stomach. In eastern philosophy, ruby promotes peace and prosperity for its owner, and grants invulnerability from evil. Its warm glow casts a spell over the heart of all who behold it. - (FJ.2280)Medium: Ruby/Gold
