Ruby: Inviting Emotional Softness into Daily Life | Crystal Healing Blog
In the world of crystal healing, Ruby is often celebrated as the "Stone of Nobility"—a vibrant gem associated with passion, vitality, and courage. Yet beneath its fiery surface lies a profound invitation to emotional tenderness.
