Red Carpet

Red Carpet

It’s a hot month with a hot gemstone to match.  Our gemstone for the month of July stands alone – it’s the only choice July babies have – but who needs a choice when the only option is ruby?

Colors are separated into cool and warm. Blue is a cool color and red is a warm color. Actually, red is hot and rubies are red! Red as in red carpet; Red Hots candy; and red hot mama! (Or red hot daddy)!

The most notoriously beautiful rubies have come from Burma. Today, that’s no longer legal – rubies and jadeite are banned from importation into the US from Burma. (Political reasons). But, there are other locales, including Thailand, Vietnam, and Africa. It’s all about the color! Tomorrow – Ruby Tuesday!   …Dii
