What, exactly is a ruby besides a beautiful and expensive gemstone? Actually, you can get rubies for low prices--just go to a gem and mineral/new age type store and get them tumbled. They don't have to be cut and faceted to still be a ruby.
Ruby is a red form of Corundum, which is the aluminum analogue of Eskolaite, Hematite, and Karelianite. As a a stone of nobility, a Ruby's energy is intense and vivid. Ruby demands that you follow your bliss and acts like a plug for holes in your energy field.
