This precious, rare, and beautiful stone is known as the 'Lord of the Gems' and takes its name from the Latin word for red, 'ruber'. It's said that the very best have protective powers, especially when set in jewellery and worn on the left.
Many people know which gemstone is associated with their month of birth - as far back as c1400BC civilisations believed in the magical properties of these stones and would wear them for luck or as a talisman.
