The Pink Ruby, History, Symbolism and Virtues

Pink Ruby – Burning heart and light of the deep feminine


1. History & Origin

Pink ruby ​​is a variety of corundum, just like red ruby ​​and sapphire. If its color is intense and tends toward red, it is called a ruby. When it lightens to fuchsia, raspberry, or purplish-pink shades, it is called a pink ruby, sometimes also called "intense pink sapphire" in some classifications.

Since ancient times, ruby ​​has been considered the stone of sacred fire, the living heart, and sovereign passion. The pink ruby, rarer than its deep red cousin, was long unfairly overlooked before conquering the world of modern fine jewelry, notably for its tender yet powerful vibration.

Today it is highly sought after for its unique vibrational energies, at the crossroads of the life force of red ruby ​​and the healing softness of pink.

It is mainly found in deposits of:

  • Sri Lanka (very light to saturated shades, exceptional gem quality)
  • Madagascar (vibrant and bright colors)
  • Burma (Myanmar)
  • Tanzania, Vietnam, Thailand and Mozambique
