*What is a Birthstone?*

<http://www.onlinejewelrymall.com/>

A birthstone is a gift of a precious material (jewelry, mainly gemstones;

themselves traditionally associated with various qualities) that symbolizes

the month of birth (in the Gregorian Calendar). It is sometimes also called

birthday stone (cf. infra; but that word is, confusingly, sometimes used as

a synonym for an anniversary gift, which is related to the recipient's age,

i.e. year of birth).* *

*Ruby ** Birthstone : * *Ruby is the birthstone for the month of July.

Like a perfect red rose, the Ruby's rich color speaks of love and passion.

Called the "Rajnapura" or King of Gems by ancient Hindus, July's birthstone

is among the most highly prized of gems throughout history. The Ruby was

considered to have magical powers, and was worn by royalty as a talisman

against evil. It was thought to grow darker when peril was imminent, and to

return to its original color once danger was past—provided it was in the

hands of its rightful owner! The word Ruby comes from the Latin "ruber,"

meaning red. The history of Ruby mining dates back more than 2,500 years

ago. The most beautiful crystals are thought to be from Burma, but quality

Rubies are also found in India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania,

Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the United States.

It has been said that the Ruby's red glow comes from an internal flame that

cannot be extinguished, making a gift of this stone symbolic of everlasting

love. With its hardness and durability, it is a perfect engagement gem. And

if worn on the left hand, ancient lore has it that the Ruby will bring good

fortune to its wearer, too!

*Do you know your birthstone? *

Most of us know our birthstones and those of our loved ones, and a

birthstone is always a great present to give and to receive. And why is

that? Because birthstones carry with them folklore and tradition, giving

them meaning that we all can enjoy and relate to.

Many believe that the Breastplate of Aaron, Moses' brother, is the basis for

the origin of birthstones. The instructions for the making of the

Breastplate call for the twelve stones of the Twelve Tribes of Israel to be

set in four rows.

The twelve positions were later adopted by astrologers who linked them to

the twelve months of the calendar year and the twelve signs of the zodiac,

and thus created what we know today as birthstones.

Unfortunately, it is difficult for contemporary translators to determine a

certain or absolute interpretation of which modern gemstone names equate to

the ancient biblical descriptions of the stones of the high priest's

breastplate. Therefore, the list of gems used varies dependent on the

translation which is cited. But in 1912, the American National Association

of Jewelers, Jewelers of America, officially adopted the following list

which we adhere to:
