I cannot stay awake in a room with lepidolite. I have a polished piece inside my pillow case. What else it might be able to do I have no idea. Guess I'll have to just take your word for it, since it puts me to sleep so fast!

Today's stone is Ruby.

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.

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.

Ruby works with the flow of blood as an aid to circulation. It aids the cleansing and removal of infection or germs in the blood. The Ruby may be worn in jewelry, but never close to the solar plexus, as the Ruby has a disquieting effect upon it. In a ring wear it on your left hand.

The color of Rubies varies from vermilion to red. The most desired color is "pigeon's blood", which is pure red with a hint of blue. If the color is too pink, the stone is a Pink Sapphire. The same is true if it is too violet - it is a Violet Sapphire. The best Rubies and Star Rubies are bright red. Most Rubies come from Burma and Thailand.

Ruby’s domain is the heart. Its greatest effects are on the emotional level of being. It heightens your awareness of divine love and enhances your ability to experience and express it. Ruby illuminates the emotional level of life and reveals the divine love at the core of every molecule in creation.

Ruby teaches emotional mastery. Such mastery implies emotional balance, understanding, and the ability to regulate how much emotion you want to exhibit in a given situation. Yet this is not all that Ruby teaches. The emotional mastery Ruby teaches is total awareness of your emotional being.

The kind of love Ruby teaches is not human love, for human love implies needs and expectations. People need human love, yet this kind of love alone does not sustain us. We also need divine love. Divine love gives us the freedom to be who we truly are and who we want to be. This freedom nourishes us and our relationships. It gives us space to grow. Ruby’s love implies freedom. It is a noble and powerful love. It turns your attention to that which is greater than yourself.

Have you done emerald yet, Miss Scarlett? I have a rough piece with a couple shades of green plus black; I suspect it is many small emerald crystals in a matrix.
