A Letter to Ruby: Reclaiming My Light

October 18, 2023 | By Amelia Grace, Certified Crystal Healing Practitioner

The Day We Met

Dear Ruby,
I didn’t know I was lost until I found you. You appeared in my life during a season when my spirit felt fragmented—when doubt, exhaustion, and the weight of others' expectations had dimmed my inner fire. But from the moment I held you, your crimson depths pulsed like a heartbeat against my palm. For the first time in years, I felt seen.

Your Ancient Wisdom

Your history as the "Stone of Nobility" resonates deeply. Ancient cultures revered you as a talisman of passion and protection, but for me, you became something more intimate—a mirror reflecting parts of myself I’d buried. When I placed you over my heart during meditation (paired with my sandalwood meditation bracelet to deepen grounding), your energy surged through me like liquid courage. My root chakra hummed awake, dissolving the lie that I needed to earn my right to exist.

How You Worked Your Magic

• Reigniting Passion: You dissolved the numbness I’d mistaken for “maturity”
• Boundary Rebuilder: Your protective aura helped me say “no” without guilt
• Self-Worth Alchemist: Your iron inclusions reminded me: true strength is tender

Our Daily Rituals

Carrying you in my left pocket became a sacred act—a way to anchor your vitality into my solar plexus. On days when old insecurities crept in, I’d clasp my clear quartz tree-of-life pendant in one hand and you in the other, visualizing your red energy merging with quartz’s clarity to banish self-limiting stories.

The Turning Point

Remember that full moon in Leo? I charged you beside lavender amethyst to blend your courage with gentle self-compassion. That night, I journaled truths I’d been afraid to voice: “I am enough. My love is not a transaction. My boundaries honor us both.” For the first time, I believed every word.

Our Journey Ahead

Ruby, you taught me that self-worth isn’t a destination—it’s the bedrock we build upon daily. Now when I wear you as a ring or press you to my third eye during yoga, I don’t just feel “confident.” I feel ferociously aligned. Like the Maharajas who carried you into battle, I now wield your energy not against others, but for my most sacred cause: honoring my authentic self.

“In your crimson depths, I found the courage to bleed, to heal, and to rise—not in spite of my scars, but because of them.”

A Blessing for Fellow Seekers

To anyone reading this: If Ruby calls to you, trust that pull. Cleanse her under running water or moonlight. Pair her with grounding tools like hematite when confronting deep wounds. Combine her fire with rose quartz for emotional balance. And when her intensity feels overwhelming (as energetic shifts often do), remember—her heat isn’t meant to burn, but to forge.

With eternal gratitude,
A Soul Remembering Her Light
