Der Geburtsstein im Juli: Rubin
Red, red, red are all my clothes. Red, red, red is all I have. Red, red, red is the stone of the month for July: the fantastic ruby.
The ruby, a sparkling red gemstone of extraordinary beauty, has always been known for its fascinating charisma and symbolic meaning.
Numerous legends, tales and myths surround this remarkable red gemstone, making it a captivating topic in history and culture. Many dazzling personalities and historical figures have worn rubies to express power, wealth or passion. This gemstone occupies a prominent place in the crown jewels of many monarchies, where it serves as a symbol of royal dignity. The ruby also often plays a role in literature and film: adventure films spin exciting stories around its beauty, while ancient myths and legends surround it with mystical powers.
From a mineralogical point of view, the ruby belongs to the corundum family, a group of particularly hard and precious minerals. Interestingly, however, it was only officially recognized as an independent variety of corundum at the beginning of the 19th century. Until then, red gemstones were often referred to indiscriminately as carbuncle stones, regardless of whether they were rubies, garnets or spinels.
The term carbuncle alone has a special fascination: the sonorous name conjures up images of mysterious beauty, glowing fire and the irrepressible power of nature, which fire the imagination and inspire stories.
The color of the ruby depends largely on the elements it contains, such as chrome, iron or titanium. Ruby in particular is characterized by its intense colour palette, which ranges from a strong blood red to nuances with a subtle hint of red-violet.
However, if the hue crosses the border into pink or even pinkish, the gemstone is classified as a pink or pink sapphire.
A special feature is the star ruby. The star is created by fine rutile needles inside the ruby and a star effect becomes visible through light and the right cabochon cut. This phenomenon is known as asterism and a star with 6 rays appears.
