In crystal healing, Ruby is a powerful stone used to activate your Heart and Root chakras. It is a stone of deep love, working on your self-worth so that you may receive the attention and respect that you deserve.

Ruby is a stone of royalty, encouraging your leadership skills and protecting you from low-energy thinking. It activates your passions and engages you in the present moment. It is all about following your bliss.

Fuchsite is a green form of Muscovite Mica which is sometimes found embedded with Red Rubies. The Rubies are usually rimmed with Blue Kyanite. Found in Southern India. Fuchsite is a 2-3 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness.

Ruby Kyanite combines the calming energy of Kyanite with the activating energy of Ruby. Together it helps quiet your mind so you can hear the solutions to your problems. It is for truth-seekers and those who want to develop their intuition.

Ruby Zoisite is an excellent crystal for increasing spiritual awareness. The combination of stones allows you to go into a deep trance state and amplify your aura. It is used to heal the soul in past life regressions.

Star Rubies are natural Rubies that show asterism. Asterism is a phenomenon where a star-like visual effect dances over the stone's surface. A flashlight or single source of light is used to best see the star effect. Watch our Ruby Meanings video for an example of Star Rubies.

It was not until I got into the crystal business that I discovered the allure of raw Rubies. These are far from the processed gemstones shining and encased in a jewelry store's display. They are rough and dark and unique.

I love the glamour that comes with Ruby gemstones. The world knows about Ruby through fashion and fame. Yet they are unfamiliar with the exceptional healing properties of Ruby, which make it that much more desirable.

When I was a teenager, my aunt gave me a gold heart-shaped ring with lots of little red Rubies studded within. It was one of my very first precious jewelry pieces. I still have it, and it is still one of my only precious gemstone jewelry pieces since I usually go with other stones. I only wear my Ruby ring on rare occasions, but when I do- I feel as though I'm glowing with love and luxury.

In my crystal healing life, I adore Ruby Zoisite. The dark green of Zoisite and lush red of Ruby remind me of watermelons, delicious! I like the rich abundance energy these stones give. I also like wearing the Ruby Zoisite combination during Christmas time. They feel so festive and keep me energized.

However, you should still be careful using the water method if your Ruby is in its raw form or has any natural fracture lines within its polished form. In this case, we recommend gently cleaning the crystal with a wet cloth.

However, if your Ruby has some fracture lines, it could be susceptible to breaks on the line. Find out what else your broken Ruby could mean in crystal healing: Broken or Lost Crystal Meanings.

The only true way to know if your Ruby is real or fake is to have it tested by a gemologist, get it appraised at a certified jewelry store, or send it to a reputable laboratory. The second best way is to find a reputable seller who knows what they are selling you. If you do not have access to a gemologist or reputable seller, here are some tips to follow to tell if your gemstone is real:

Use a Gem Tester to verify your Ruby if you are pretty certain of its other characteristics. Note that this will not tell the difference between Real Ruby and Synthetic Ruby, but it can rule out imitations and glass.

Synthetic Rubies are created in a lab by scientists over a few months. They have the same structure as natural Rubies and are considered "real" but are more affordable than natural Rubies. They don't have the same inclusions as real Rubies found in nature.

Composite Ruby is a manmade creation of natural Rubies mixed with glass. These entered the gem trade in 2006 and have been passed off as real Ruby since. Composite Rubies are not as hard as Real Rubies, making them less durable and more affordable. They are also called Glass Ruby Composites and Hybrid Rubies.

To make a Composite Ruby, low-grade Ruby is chosen. Low-grade Ruby grows with extraneous minerals. These extraneous minerals are leached out of the stone and replaced with glass to hold the remaining Ruby in place.

Traditionally treated Rubies may contain glass to fill in the gemstone's fractures, but Composite Rubies are mixed with a large percentage of glass. Whether out of ignorance or deceit, Composite Rubies are being labeled as traditionally treated Rubies, so buyer beware!

If you see intersecting lines looking like a web or fingerprints when using a 10x jewelers loupe to view your Ruby, this means it is a Composite Ruby. The lines are where the glass is holding the stone together. You may also see the air bubbles that are a common inclusion in glass or a yellow tint if the glass used was yellow to make the red shades of the stone look redder.

Composite Rubies can still be used in crystal healing. Just like any other crystal that has been altered, it is up to you as the healer to determine your preferences. If you are already working with polished stones, carved stones, or tumbled stones, you realize that they have been manipulated from their raw state.

If you are distinguishing between the tumbled versions of the two stones, your tumbled Red Garnets are cheaper so they are placed in a tumbler and come out with a lot of grooves, dips, and craters. Rubies are more expensive and are polished with a hand grinder. They will be smoother.

In their raw formation, Garnets form in a rhombic dodecahedron - 12 sides with diamond faces whereas Rubies form with six sides and hexagon faces. Raw Rubies will show triangular shapes on the surface whereas Garnets are chunkier with shiny flat faces. Garnets often pair with Mica as well. Rubies are fluorescent and will grow, unlike Garnets.

"I call to those willing to walk in the fire of action and self-awareness: Rise up and come unto me, for the lifeblood of creativity and breadth of purposeful movement pulsate within both of us. Act with intention and watch the world open as you share your light. I'm energy personified, one of the moral clan who lay upon the ancient breastplate of activation. Ask me to show you the direction of your agreement, then sit with me in reflection to feel the knowing clarity of purpose wash over you. Join me in embracing the power of potential realized. We exist in a continuum, never alone, so reach for me as you prepare yourself and invite truth to reign."

Your soul is ready for a lift. Whatever problems you may face will be solved once you elevate your mind to the next spiritual plane. Use Ruby crystals to meditate and manifest your goals. This will help you raise your vibrations. Once you have achieved this higher state of mind, you will realize that the problem you once dwelled upon was frivolous to your life path.

For Feng Shui energy, place Ruby in the "Fame and Reputation" top center of your home. For more on placing crystals and a Bagua map, visit How to Clear & Fill the Home with Crystals.

While Ruby is not a protection stone against outside forces, it does protect you from your lowly thoughts. Instead of falling victim to your negative energy, use Ruby to lift your vibrations and operate on a higher plane.

Being a July birthstone, Ruby is considered to be especially lucky for those born in this month. Because it is a crystal of positive thoughts and high vibrations, Ruby is a great stone to use to manifest your desires.

Spiritually, Ruby lifts your vibrations to a higher plane. It elevates your thoughts and your state of mind so that you operate in a positive realm. Meditate with Ruby to transform your thinking and tap into your true royalty.

Ruby and Sapphire are both Corundum stones. They are identical in their crystal formation except for their colors. Rubies are red Corundums while all the other colors of Corundum fall into the Sapphire category.

Pure red ruby is the most valuable color of the crystal. Rubies with purple, orange and purple tones are less valued in the market. These valuations do not apply to crystal healing. All Rubies have the same metaphysical properties.
