HISTORY OF THE JULY BIRTHSTONE
Being one of the most historically significant colored stones and mentioned four times in the Bible,
the
history of the mining of rubies dates back more than 2,500 years ago. Ranging of various red hues,
the
most radiant rubies can be found in India, Australis, Burma, Pakistan, Kenya, and the United States.
The
ruby contains chromium, giving it its red color and causing fluorescence allowing it to glow. The
most
valuable ruby of them all is the Burmese Ruby which its color is often referred to as “pigeon blood”
red, as it is associated with the white of a pigeon’s eye and the Mogok Valley mines in Myanmar.

all gems, it was believed that wearing the deep red stone brought good fortune upon the wearer.
