Ruby In Matrix (1) Tumbled Stone

 This is one piece of Ruby in granite matrix, it has been tumbled smooth and is polished on all sides, making it the perfect size for a pocket, purse, pillow, or palm. These stones would also make a perfect addition to a crystal grid.

One piece will be intuitively chosen from our selection of available tumbled stones. Sizes and colors will vary, as well as inclusions and surface features. Tumbled stones have been smoothed via rock tumbler, and may have a matte or shiny polished surface; unless listed in description, stones are completely natural and untreated.

PHYSICAL: Ruby is the red (or pinkish-red) variety of Corundum--it forms hexagonal or scalenohedral crystals. Frequently ruby crystals form with different types of rock and mineral matrices--these can include green zoisite, blue kyanite, mint green fuchsite, and more. In this case, it is in matrix of soft grey granite. The ruby crystals fluoresce a bright fuschia pink under ultraviolet (blacklight)!

METAPHYSICAL/CULTURAL: Ruby is associated with courage, vitality, fidelity, and health.
