Ruby Gemstone meaning
The ruby is considered to be the most powerful gem in the universe, and is associated with many astral signs. To own a ruby is said to have contentment and peace. Placed under a pillow the ruby may ward off bad dreams. Ruby rings should be worn on the left hand so as to receive the life force and have protection. Given as a gift, the ruby is a symbol of friendship and love. The ruby is also the symbol of vitality and royalty.
Love stone
The Ruby is filled with love. It also helps sexual love to be more passionate. Persons lacking in self-love should have and mediate on the Ruby. It also gives the courage to be best potential that a person has.

SEPTEMBER BIRTHSTONE SAPPHIRE GEMSTONES
SEPTEMBER BIRTHSTONE SAPPHIRE GEMSTONES
LEARN WHY SAPPHIRE GEMSTONES ARE THE BEST GEMSTONE TO BUY!
Sapphire is the official Birthstone for September. But Sapphires are much more than just a Birthstone, they are incredible! Out of all the Millions of Gemstones available on the face of the Earth, Sapphire is the best choice to purchase. They truly are the best Gemstone to buy. They are the second hardest natural Gemstone on the market, second only to Diamond. But then again, Diamond is in a class all by itself. So when we're talking about Gemstones, like Emeralds, Topaz and Citrine, no Gemstone can compare... The official Stone they come from is called Corundum and it's rated a 9 out of 10 on theMOH's Scale of hardness. That just basically means that Sapphire (not Saphire) is harder than any Gemstone out there other than the Diamond. Hardness means it's more durable. It's a great Gemstone to wear every day. It's tough, can take a lot of abuse and will last a lifetime.

FEBRUARY'S GEMSTONE/BIRTHSTONE IS AMETHYST!
AMETHYST IS THE MOST POPULAR GEMSTONE IN THE WORLD!
February's Birthday Babies are lucky! Why?Because all the people with Birthdays in the Month of February, whether it's the 1st, 14th, 21st or 28th, they all have one thing in common...They not only share the same Beautiful Gemstone which is Amethyst, but they also share something else that no other Gemstone can claim... The title of: The Most Popular Gemstone In The World!
Amethyst is GreekThe word Amethyst means "Without Drunkenness" in Greek. Legend says that the wearer of this stone will escape intoxication.You can't get drunk? Yeah right! What were they drinking? I've never known anyone to confirm this theory, but just like the name, the myth lives on.
Amethyst HardnessAmethyst is a great stone to wear because it's fairly durable as well. Coming from the great family of Quartz Stones, Amethyst is a 7.0 on the MOHs Scale of Hardness. Basically that means, it will hold up well over the long run. Amethysts will show slight signs of wear and tear over the years, like rounding of the edges and corners, and some slight chipping and breaking around the girdles edge.
Amethyst looks great in just about any style of ring too. Wide Mountings, Skinny Bands, Custom Design Rings, people have no problems finding Amethyst in an abundant of modern settings and lovely designs.

GEMSTONE TANZANITE - THE ULTIMATE BUYING GUIDE!
THE BEST COLOR AND CLARITY FOR TANZANITE GEMSTONES!
Tanzanite Hardness
On the Mohs Scale of Mineral Hardness, Tanzanite rates only a 6.5 - 7 on the list. In fact, Garnets,Amethyst, Topaz, Emerald and Aquamarine are more durable and scratch resistant than Tanzanites! (And Emeralds are known for being a softer stone!)
So as far as being a Gemstone that you can wear day in and day out, I would not advise it. (Special Occasions or a couple times a week is fine! Just be careful!) Unless you have your Tanzanite set low in the mounting or protected with a bezel or prongs, don't do it! A Pendant or Earrings would be a better choice for Tanzanite Jewelry!
Tanzanites are Expensive
Tanzanites really are expensive. I would be very cautious about the whole Tanzanite purchase to begin with. (Heck, Jewelers chip Tanzanites all the time just setting the stone.) (Which also means, check your Tanzanites well for chips or breaks before you buy them, and after you get them back from repair or sizing!)
Eye-Clean
The nice thing about Tanzanites are that almost all stones sold on the market today, are "Eye-Clean". Which means, void of any eye-visible inclusions. And most Tanzanites are even eye-clean under a 10x Jeweler's Loupe as well. If you see Inclusions with the naked eye in Tanzanites, don't buy it!
Best Tanzanite Color to Buy?
Now as far as the best color to buy, there are only a few: Either Dark, Deep Blue-Violet, orDark, Deep Blue-Violet! Yes, you read that right! Dark, Deep Blue-Violet is the ONLY true color to get for a Tanzanite Gemstone! (See Picture)
A lot of Tanzanites you see in the mall Jewelry Stores will be very pale, transparent, light-violet or light-lavender in shade... AVOID THEM! They are cheap and low quality. In other words, they're not worth the purchase. Tanzanites are only good when they're Deep, Dark Blues and Purples in color. (Some people like the lighter shades, but I'm here to say, they're low grade!)
IT'S NOT REAL!
That's a shocker to Tanzanite lovers! The color is Not Natural! Not Genuine!
That Color does not come from the Earth. When miners dig it out of Block D (one of the 4 mines in the 5 square mile area that hosts the best Tanzanite Colors), which is in the hills of Meralani, beneath Mt. Kilimanjaro, it actually comes out of the ground as a Green Colored Rock called "Zoisite"!
What? Can you believe it? Who's ever heard of Zoisite?
Permanent Tanzanite Color
Only with the proper heat treatment does the Zoisite stone turn a beautiful deep color of blue-purple. Now while this heat treated stone will retain it's color permanently... It's not advised to submit the stone to drastic temperature changes, steam cleaners (like Jewelers use) or even Ultrasonic Jewelry Cleaners! (They could fade your beautiful and expensive color!) So clean your Tanzanites by hand in luke-warm water. (And what ever you do, keep it away from harsh acids!)
With all its faults and imperfections, Tanzanite still pushes forward and becomes more popular every day. It may be brittle, it may be heat treated, but the public loves the Stone, and of course the Color. The Color is its selling point!
Tanzanites are very Rare!
Not to mention the fact that Tanzanites are very, very Rare. Once the mines dry up... NO MORE TANZANITE! (They estimate 12-30 years!) Tanzanite is such a hot stone, that Jewelry Designers have taken Tanzanite and run with it. They've taken Tanzanite and turned it into a very Exotic Gemstone with fabulous cuts and unique shapes and settings. They've made Tanzanites stand out in a crowd.
Birthstone for December!
Designers have made it stand out so much, that the American Gem Trade Association (in 2002) has deemed Tanzanite the New Alternate Birthstone for December! That's quite a feat for such a fairly new Gemstone. Maybe that's why they call Tanzanite, the "Gem of the 20th Century"! (What will they do when they run out of Tanzanites?)
The mines of Tanzania (which also brings us other gems like: Tsavorite, Rubies & Diamonds) may be High Security, with Guards, Fences, Attack Dogs, and Armed Towers. They may have Floods, Revolutions, Power-Outages and Oxygen Deprived Workers, but they also have the only Tanzanites in the World. And gladly, that's a stone that everyone wants.
Tanzanite is Hot!
Whether it be a cheap $100 per carat Tanzanite bought on a Cruise Ship, or a $2000 per carat dark blue-violet Tanzanite bought from Tiffany & Co... It doesn't matter. Because with Tanzanite, you either buy it now, while it's hot, or you wait until the mines dry up, and then you get it when it's not! It's your choice!
