Ruby (July) Birthstone lore and
history
- This stone was given as offerings to
Buddha in China and Krishna in India.
- A common belief was that dreaming of
rubies meant the coming of success in business, money matters,
and love.
- The ruby is thought to change colors
(grow darker) when the owner was in danger or when an illness
was coming. It was also thought that it would chase off the
spirits of the dead and evil spirits not contained in hell.
- In China and Europe, in the 10th century,
dragons and snakes were carved in their surfaces to increase the
flow of money and power to their owners.
