Many medieval Europeans wore rubies to guarantee health, wealth, wisdom, passion and success in love. Desire for ruby is just as great today as it always has been. Many cultures have strong ties to it being a symbol of love and commitment. The red gem comes from the corundum mineral (sapphires come from the same mineral).
The listing is for one rough fluorescent ruby. You will receive the exact product from the photos. The approximate measurement for the display box is 1.25 inches by 1.25 inches. This is not the size of the actual gem.
In order to see the ruby glow, you must use a UV/black light. A regular flashlight will not make this effect. We got our UV/ black light from amazon. Message us if you're curious what model we use!
