Happy Friday my gem-loving pals! Before we
discuss this week’s glorious gem, I wanted to let you all know that we have
some exciting celestial events coming up in October. October 18 is the
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, which will cause the full moon to darken. Let’s hope
for a clear night so we can enjoy it! A few days later on October 21 we will
experience the Orionids Meteor Shower, caused by leftover dust from Halley’s
comet. There will be special posts about these events in the coming weeks so
check back often!
This week Gem Steady is seeing red, because our gem of the week is the
Ruby! Rubies are related to Sapphires because they both are gem-quality
corundum and they are both richly pigmented precious stones. A Ruby’s color can
range from panther pink, to a deep blood red. Most Rubies come with
imperfections and when a flawless Ruby is found, it demands a price higher than
a Diamond. Even though the little red charmer has a few flaws, our dear friend
Ruby is truly beautiful. Just ask the Chinese Emperor, Kublai Khan from the 10th
century. The guy traded an entire city for a fiery red Ruby.
Throughout history, the precious Ruby has been said to bring nobility,
love and success to its keeper. Rubies are just as powerful today as they were
in ancient times. The vibrant red rock is known for promoting stamina and
vitality. This stone packs a lot of energy and power so keep a Ruby close by
when you engage in physical activity.
Ruby is a fantastic stone for the lethargic or tired folk. The next time
your to do list extends to the ground and you feel like being a couch potato,
place a Ruby around your neck and accomplish your tasks with ease.
So, Ruby definitely wants you to be an active, healthy, and productive
individual, but it has a special power that is especially useful during the
month of October. Rubies have been said to neutralize the sensation of fear
when encountering something paranormal, evil, or unusual. Are you too jumpy for
a night of haunted houses and ghost tours with your buddies? Keep a Ruby in
your pocket and the ghosts and goblins will seem harmless as a fuzzy kitten.
Are you in need of a new Ruby to increase your stamina, fight off your
inner scaredy cat and most importantly to look stunning on your finger? Look no
further than Gem Steady’s Etsy!
