About the crystal:
For So many years we have worked with natural South American crystals, however, we have been requested by so many of our customers to make it in Ruby.
As ruby is not common in South America we had to source a in different continents,unfurtunetly we haven't been able to source a Fairtrade cooperative or a company engaged with sustainability that could certify the disposal of the excess material produced during the process made accordingly to environmental laws and do to impact the local environment.
So we decided to go to the Lab-created rubies, so we could trace every single step of the production.
Lab-created rubies are made using the same materials that can be found in a natural ruby ring. They are identical in their chemical composition, but lab-created rubies are less expensive than natural ones and unlike natural rubies, they are not flawed.
For centuries, rubies have signified passion, protection, and wealth. Ancient warriors in Burma and China adorned their armour with the gem to provide protection in battle. Some went as far as inserting the gems into their flesh, believing it created invincibility. The ruby has become a symbol of love and commitment.
It has been associated with improved energy and concentration, creativity, loyalty, honour and compassion. Ruby is thought to be protective of their home, possessions and family.
Ruby is said to stimulate the heart chakra and bring spiritual wisdom while shielding against psychic attacks.
