July birthstone

Ruby

Intensity, for better and worse.

July's stone is ruby, associated with passion, vitality and courage. It is the most intense of the birthstones by tradition, and its associations run to both the best and the most difficult aspects of strong feeling.

What it is associated with

  • Passion
  • Vitality
  • Courage
  • Intensity

Traditional associations, not claims about what a stone does.
