Ruby necklace 3 mm faceted - 925 sterling silver

In this gemstone necklace, ruby appears as a finely faceted 3 mm bead chain in fiery crimson to vibrant carmine red. The classic bead shape and faceting create a characteristic silky glass luster that makes every stone shine. Ruby belongs to the corundum group (Al₂O₃) and, with a Mohs hardness of 9, is one of the hardest natural minerals – surpassed only by the diamond. Its intense red coloration – ranging from delicate pink to crimson – is caused by chromium impurities in the crystal lattice. Ruby crystallizes in the trigonal system. Its name comes from the Latin "rubeus" (red), which replaced the term "carbuncle" in the 12th century. Locations: Myanmar (Mogok), Sri Lanka, Thailand, Mozambique, Tanzania, Madagascar.

Significance in crystal healing

These attributions are based on tradition and are not scientifically proven. They do not replace medical treatment.
