UPCOMING BIRTHDAYS or ANNIVERSARIES

Celebrate with Rubies

Ruby is the birthstone for the month of July. It is also the birthstone for the Sun Sign Capricorn. For thousands of years, the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones on Earth. It has everything a precious stone should have: magnificent colour, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. In addition to that, it is an extremely rare gemstone, especially in its finer qualities.

For a long time India was regarded as the ruby's classical country of origin. In the major works of Indian literature, a rich store of knowledge about gemstones has been handed down over a period of more than two thousand years. The Sanskrit word for ruby is 'ratnaraj', which means something like 'king of the gemstones'.

Folklore, Legend and Healing Properties

 Ruby is a dynamic stone said to promote enthusiasm, vigour and passion for life. It is also believed to encourage a courageous and positive state of mind, to promote dynamic leadership, to increase motivation and to help overcome exhaustion and lethargy.

Ruby is believed to encourage positive dreams and clear visualization, to give strength in times of conflict and to protect against psychic attack. It is also said to sharpen the mind, increase awareness and improve concentration.

In healing Ruby is thought to be extremely beneficial for the heart and the circulatory system. It is also believed to detoxify the body and to stimulate the kidneys, reproductive organs and the spleen.

In the Middle Ages Ruby was viewed as a stone of prophesy and was said to darken when danger was near.

Speak The Language Of Colour & See What It Says About You

If you thought your mobile phone was the best communication tool you have, think again. The colours you surround yourself with possess high levels of energy frequency and strong vibrations that can change actions and cause reactions, set moods and alter states of mind.

Throughout history, colours have been used to communicate messages, symbolize personality traits and open our chakras to inspire healthy wellbeing.  In ancient Egypt people bathed in pigments or ingested ground-up gems to heal, uplift, balance and attract.  Luckily all we need to do is wear the colours that make us feel good.

Perhaps the best messengers of colour communication are gemstones; since they are created by nature we have historically felt a primal link to their energy.  Belief in gem powers has survived for nearly 5,000 years and with the vast array of gems to choose from; they provide us with many ways to illuminate our personal aura and express our individual spirit.

Colours are intimately tied to all aspects of our lives and they solicit feelings and stimulate our senses.  Our response to it is primitive, often more emotional than intellectual.  Colour choices are very personal and the colours we gravitate toward speak volumes of how we see ourselves and how others view us.

What does your favourite colour say about you? Which gems are the perfect ambassadors to represent your colourful traits?

RED-ruby, garnet, tourmaline, spinel, coral, jasper, zircon, diamond

The colour red is associated with fire, heat, and blood. Red communicates vitality, power, warmth, and all consciousness of love. If red gets your blood pumping at first sight, you are exciting, animated, passionate, confident, courageous, assertive, and impulsive. A real extrovert, you love to command attention and experience life to its fullest.






 

BLUE- sapphire, aquamarine, tanzanite, tourmaline, topaz, turquoise, chalcedony, moonstone, spinel, zircon, iolite, lapis, apatite, diamond

A universally favourite colour, blue is cool and calming. It inspires wisdom and clarity. If you are a true blue lover, you are loyal, affectionate, caring, encouraging, and resourceful. Both trusting and in need of being trusted, strong attachments are important. Generally conservative, you are reliable and if your preference is vibrant blue you're likely to be a bit outgoing.

Green- emerald, garnet, tourmaline, peridot, sapphire, green beryl, jade, malachite, chrome diopside, chrysoberyl, chrysoprase, jasper, moonstone, diamond

Midway on the colour spectrum, green is known to inspire harmony and balance. Considered both energizing and soothing in its influence on mind and body, green expresses freedom and good nature. If green is your natural choice, you are warm and approachable, an intellectual with understanding and self-control. A real do-gooder, you are compassionate, generous and adaptable.








 

BLUE-GREEN- aquamarine, turquoise, tourmaline, chrysocolla, apatite

A combination of blue and green, this colour draws many of its personality traits from each of these bands in the spectrum. You are sensitive, but also cool, self-assured and stable. You are a good communicator, who likes to help others, and is quite adept at managing your own affairs. A natural networker, you blend charisma with savoir-faire.

PURPLE- amethyst, tanzanite, tourmaline, garnet, sapphire, spinel, kunzite, jade, diamond

Purple has an aura of mystery and intrigue. When it leans to the red side it embraces more sensuality. When it's closer to blue there is greater spirituality. If purple pulls you in, you are intuitive, imaginative, creative, perceptive, and inspiring. Boasting a keen wit, you are charismatic and command a sense of authority and leadership.

PINK- sapphire, spinel, garnet, topaz, tourmaline, rose quartz, morganite, kunzite, sugilite, coral, jade, opal, diamond

Pink connects us to a universal love. It symbolizes youthfulness, and brings us more in touch with our feelings. Pink in deeper vivid shades is more closely aligned to red's stimulating persona, while softer, pastel hues reflect innocence and refinement. You are talented, but subtle in your drive. You're more reserved in expressing affections, but hopelessly a romantic.

YELLOW- golden beryl, citrine, sapphire, garnet, tourmaline, topaz, zircon, amber, pearl, diamond

Yellow - the colour of sunshine - is luminous and warm. It exudes optimism, energy and encouragement. If you're yearning for yellow, you tend to brighten any room you enter with your good humour, poise and positive attitude. Radiating a zest for life, your curious nature makes you crave novelty and challenge. Highly original, you are imaginative, creative and artistic.

ORANGE- sapphire, garnet, citrine, fire opal, spinel, topaz, tourmaline, coral, zircon, moonstone, carnelian, amber, diamond

A combination of red and yellow, orange takes on many personality traits of both colours - blending energy with wisdom. Warm and bright, orange is the colour of celebration, happiness, confidence, resourcefulness, and inspiration. You are enthusiastic, sociable and insightful. You have an independent spirit and an appetite for life, practicing a work hard/play hard philosophy.

BROWN- garnet, smoky quartz, zircon, topaz, amber, fire agate, pearl, diamond

An earthy colour, brown reflects a grounded attitude. A preference for brown means you have a steady, reliable character with a keen sense of responsibility. Despite your pragmatic approach, you have a funny side. You are a loyal friend and family person, with a strong need for security and a sense of belonging. You are attracted to the natural connections brown inspires - tribal, primitive, simple.

WHITE- sapphire, topaz, quartz, moonstone, opal, jade, zircon, pearl, diamond

The colour of perfection, white represents an awakened spirit, a new beginning or awareness with unlimited potential. Its connection to innocence symbolizes youthfulness.  Cleanliness and organization are priorities. Neat and orderly is your motto. You're not only self-sufficient you also are cautious and shrewd. But most important you are authentic.

BLACK- sapphire, opal, onyx, jade, tourmaline, spinel, pearl, diamond

Black is actually the absence of colour, yet it resonates as the colour of choice with many people from the serious traditionalist to the world sophistic. Black is empowering and powerful. In fashion, it is the ultimate of classic chic, accepted urban armor that allows anyone to 'fit in'. If you're a back devotee you wield an air of mystery. You're witty and clever, and value personal security and prestige.
