Today, rubies symbolize passion, protection, and prosperity. They're the birthstone for July and the traditional gift for 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries.

In crystal healing, rubies are believed to stimulate the heart chakra, increase energy and vitality, and promote courage and confidence in the wearer.
