Ruby extraction dates back to the 8th century BC. Ruby was extracted from mines in Sri Lanka.

Ruby is extremely hard. On the Mohs scale, only diamond has a higher hardness. 90% of world production is found in Burma. It forms in the Earth’s crust under intense heat and pressure. It is mainly found in metamorphic rocks such as marble, gneiss or schist or in certain igneous rocks such as basalt. In addition to high temperature and pressure, the presence of specific chemical elements is also necessary for ruby formation. It is traces of chromium that give ruby its red color.

In the Middle Ages, ruby was used for medicinal purposes. It was ground into powder and added to hot drinks to stop bleeding and regulate heart disorders. At that time, it was also used to bring good luck. In popular beliefs, it was considered to have prophetic powers. If the ruby darkened, it announced an impending disaster or misfortune.

Saint Hildegard of Bingen recommended ruby against viral diseases, fever and healing arthritis.
