Kimberly's Carats
Early cultures treasured rubies for their similarity to the redness of blood and believed that rubies held the power of life.
People in India believed that rubies enabled their owners to live in peace with their enemies.
In Burma, now called Myanmar, warriors possessed rubies to make them invincible in battle. However, they didn't wear the rubies. They inserted them into their flesh and make them part of their bodies.

Engagement Ring Found
Two sheriffs saved the day when they located an engagement ring that had fallen to the bottom of a muddy creek.
Linda Huffman lost the ring when she was celebrating Memorial Day with her family at the creek about 100 miles from St. Louis, Missouri. While attempting to climb a boulder, she fell and hit her hand on the limestone, sending the ring flying.
Her fiancé then enlisted two sheriffs who are part of the Mid-Missouri Sheriffs’ Dive Team to help find the ring. Their search efforts were fruitless on the first day as they depleted the air supply in their oxygen tanks. But after doing some back-of-the-envelope calculating on where the ring may have landed based on where and how Huffman fell, the sheriffs came back the second day and located the ring at the bottom of the muddy creek. |

While there are several other red gemstones only Ruby is esteemed and regarded as the definition of red. Ruby has long had a legendary history of bestowing power, strength and warmth to those of July birth. |
