Ruby's magic legend

Ruby's English name is Ruby. In the Bible, rubies are the most precious of all precious stones. Ruby's hot redness makes people always associate it with passion and love, and is known as the “stone of love”, symbolizing the beauty, eternality, and steadfastness of love. Ruby of different colors comes from different countries, but it means the same good luck. Red is always the messenger of beauty, and rubies are the best choices for giving wishes to others.

Among the ruby ​​reds, the most valuable is the gemstone with the richest color, known as "pigeon blood red". This vivid, intense color, which can be called almost dark red, reveals the true appearance of ruby. Unfortunately, most rubies are pale red and pinkish, so rubies with dove blood tones appear to be more valuable. Because ruby ​​is filled with a strong sense of anger and rich colors, people in the past thought that it was an incarnation of the immortal bird and produced a rich imagination. Legend has it that the left hand wears a ruby ​​ring or the left chest wears a ruby ​​brooch.

In the Bible, Job said: "Wisdom is worth more than rubies." It can be seen that rubies were very precious. Aaron, the older brother of the famous Jewish prophet Moses, was the first high priest of Israel. The fourth gem that he wore in the holy garment was ruby. The name of the Jewish ancestor was engraved on this stone. Since the ancient Jews announced the establishment of the State of Israel, this precious gem has always been the most precious treasure in the crown.

The Bible has described that rubies symbolize the Jewish tribe. In the Old Testament Exodus, the details of obedience to Jehovah's parables and the creation of the robe and the breastplate were detailed. The square breastplate has four rows and three rows, representing 12 gems of 12 schools. The first is ruby, which shows its importance. In China, the top-level system of officials of the Qing Dynasty stipulated that the top of the Crown Prince to the first official should use rubies.

The ruby-rich Myanmar spreads ancient legends of a red gem shining in a bottomless valley. According to legend, ruby ​​flashes in the valleys can be seen tens of kilometers from night to night, but due to the difficult terrain, people cannot access the valley to obtain gems. As a result, people put pieces of raw meat into the valley to make rubies stick to the meat. When the vultures are lured to catch raw meat and fly out of the valley, people can get precious rubies by shooting vultures. The famous Arabic book "Arabian Nights", "Story of the Seafarer Sinbad" also talked about a similar story.

Burmese people value rubies, but also because they believe that a small mouth cut in the human body and put rubies in it, the samurai who voluntarily performs this operation will be invulnerable.
