One of the Cardinal Gems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rubies, along with sapphires, emeralds, amethysts, and diamonds, are all cardinal gems. This means that traditionally, they were considered to be the most valuable gemstones compared to all others. The classification is related to gemstones that were used in important cultural and religious ceremonies and rituals. However, since the discovery of so many more gems, the term has fallen out of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/0\/0d\/Spinel-289135.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Spinel-289135.jpg\">Robert Matthew Lavinsky via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Some Rubies aren&#8217;t Really Rubies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the past, several stones have been misidentified as rubies because of their similarities. These stones are called spinels, and are made of magnesium and aluminum. They used to be called &#8220;Balas rubies&#8221; before they were classified as their own stone. It&#8217;s something to think about if you&#8217;re looking for something containing July&#8217;s birthstone since the error can still occur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/get.pxhere.com\/photo\/green-jewelry-necklace-jewellery-turquoise-ruby-emerald-gemstone-pendant-fashion-accessory-1083671.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"456\" height=\"303\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/pxhere.com\/en\/photo\/1083671\">Pxhere<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. A Globally Sourced Stone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thailand, Cambodia, and Myanmar are famous for their rubies, however, it&#8217;s been discovered that rubies can be found in Nepal, Pakistan, and Vietnam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/get.pxhere.com\/photo\/creative-woman-petal-female-heart-fashion-lady-pink-jewelry-necklace-jewellery-luxury-accessories-elegant-organ-expensive-simple-elegance-ruby-gemstone-stylish-pendant-locket-fashion-accessory-606019.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"390\" height=\"219\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/get.pxhere.com\/photo\/creative-woman-petal-female-heart-fashion-lady-pink-jewelry-necklace-jewellery-luxury-accessories-elegant-organ-expensive-simple-elegance-ruby-gemstone-stylish-pendant-locket-fashion-accessory-606019.jpg\">Pxhere<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Even in America<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rubies have even been found in states like Montana and Wyoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainpictures.net\/pictures\/190000\/velka\/red-ring-14687085692Ic.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"398\" height=\"398\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicdomainpictures.net\/en\/view-image.php?image=181995&amp;picture=red-ring\">Public Domain Pictures<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Enhanced Rubies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Almost all &#8211; if not every &#8211; ruby on the market has been colour treated. Sometimes rubies don&#8217;t have the colour saturation that the market demands, so adding substances like copper and calcium really bring out the reds and pinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/f\/fe\/Corundum-249186.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"284\" height=\"367\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Corundum-249186.jpg\">Robert Matthew Lavinsky via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. The Most Valuable Rubies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, the deeper the colour, the more valuable the ruby is. However, the most valuable rubies are deep red with hints of blue. This is called a &#8220;pigeon&#8217;s blood&#8221; ruby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/c1.wallpaperflare.com\/preview\/141\/933\/171\/ring-garnet-jewellery-gemstone.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"536\" height=\"253\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wallpaperflare.com\/silver-colored-ring-with-red-gemstone-on-brown-wooden-surface-wallpaper-wxtme\">Wallpaperflare<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. The Imperfect Stone<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a well-known fact among jewellers that all rubies possess imperfections. The best way to catch imitations or synthetic rubies is if they don&#8217;t have any flaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/p0.pikrepo.com\/preview\/235\/725\/red-heart-pendant-necklace-hanging-on-white-metal-bar.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"433\" height=\"288\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pikrepo.com\/fuiwy\/red-heart-pendant-necklace-hanging-on-white-metal-bar\">Pikrepo<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. They Can Get Pricey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rubies that weight 10 carats can be more expensive than a diamond of the same weight. Keep that in mind when you&#8217;re looking to expand your jewellery or stone collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/p1.storage.canalblog.com\/28\/26\/119589\/104118210_o.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"349\" height=\"349\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.ca\/pin\/494973815287751777\/\">alaintruong via Pinterest.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Really Pricey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most expensive rubies is the Sunrise Ruby. It was found in Myanmar and named after a poem by Rumi, a 13th-century Sufi poet. It was a pigeon&#8217;s blood ruby weighing 25.59 carats, and set on a ring alongside two diamonds by Cartier. The Sunrise Ruby was sold at a Sotheby&#8217;s auction for over $30 million US.<br><br>It just goes to show how valuable July&#8217;s birthstone is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/1\/19\/Imperial_State_Crown.png\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"384\" height=\"426\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Imperial_State_Crown.png\">Cyril Davenport via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Spotting Non-Rubies Today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The British Imperial State Crown is one of the most famous pieces of jewellery in the world. It&#8217;s been in the Royal Family&#8217;s possession since the 15th century, but the current version of the crown has only been around since 1937. The gorgeous crown is home to the Black Prince&#8217;s Ruby &#8211; which actually isn&#8217;t a ruby. In 1783 it was discovered that the ruby is actually a spinel.<br><br>Despite this, the spinel is still considered valuable because it&#8217;s the largest one to have not undergone a proper cutting or polishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qualitygem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/taylorruby3.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.ca\/pin\/316729786271029125\/\">Quality Gem via Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Elizabeth Taylor&#8217;s Famous Rubies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t talk about gemstones without mentioning Elizabeth Taylor. The celebrity had a jewellery collection worthy of making even the most wealthy people green with envy. When her jewellery went up for auction in 2011, her ruby pieces included an 8.24-carat ring that sold for $4.2 million, breaking a record or two, and a necklace that sold for over $3.7 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/236x\/58\/21\/ac\/5821ac186a171d9b3d0f433419850136--gems-and-minerals-liberty-bells.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.ca\/pin\/531987774703663341\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. The Liberty Bell Ruby<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Noted as one of the largest rubies in the world, the Liberty Bell Ruby was a mini sculpture of the famous Liberty Bell. It was adorned with about fifty diamonds, bringing the price of the gem to about two million dollars.<br>While the ruby itself was found in the 1950s, it wasn&#8217;t shaped and sculpted until 1976 when Kazanjian Brothers, an American jewellery company, hired Alfonso de Vivanco to craft it for the U.S. Bicentennial.<br><br>In 2011 the gem was being held in a jewellery store in Delaware when the shop was the target of a jewellery heist and the Liberty Bell was stolen. Despite the suspects were arrested in 2014, the mini ruby sculpture still hasn&#8217;t been recovered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/4\/49\/Corundum-winza-17d.jpg\" alt=\"July's Birthstone\" width=\"409\" height=\"376\"\/><figcaption>Courtesy of: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Corundum-winza-17d.jpg\">Robert Matthew Lavinsky via Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15.

It&#8217;s associated with vibrancy in life, protection, love, and passion.
