The Advantage of Ruby ( a modern taste )


Wearing rubies will become wealthy, have good children, happiness, courage, a respected position in society, high honor, prestige and property. The wearer’s will-power and determination will also be strengthened. Rubies support the development of will power, courage, and vitality. They also help one have a proper spiritual view and to see truth, as well as helping to improve one’s status in life. The wearer will develop a royal life, and be protected from problems, fear, misfortune, and disaster. He or she will be fortunate, successful, optimistic, authoritative, intelligent, and will receive social status ( modern taste )

Wearing rubies is good for persons in authority, politicians, and for people trying to get a high position in the country. They protect the wearer from the jealousy of others, from deadly enemies, and from their competitors. They strengthen administrative skills, managerial abilities, and initiative. Astrologers, artists, judges, gem experts, sculptors, architects, lawyers, and engineers can use rubies to support their work. Rubies also help cure learning problems

Wearing rubies will protect one from diseases caused by imbalances in the bodily functions. Rubies work with digestion, metabolism, rheumatism, fever, gout, headaches, bones, indigestion, and stomach ulcers. They can also help with eye problems, and have been known to help with cancer. Rubies can help develop general good health, and prevent unhealthiness

Since rubies are so powerful, they can cause trouble when worn by the wrong person. If the sign of Capricorn, Virgo, or Pisces are on the ascendant (rising), it may be better to use the substitute gem for ruby; the ruby itself may be too powerful. in the ancient period Ruby deals with the fifth chakra, Manipura. The color to be enhanced for the Sun is red. The number relating to ruby is one ( in modern period )

Rubi be touched with modern taste

Ruby stone be touched with modern taste
Rubies are mined in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, and Cambodia, but they have also been found in the U.S. states, in Montana, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Mogok Valley in Upper Myanmar has produced some of the finest rubies, but in recent years very few good rubies have been found there. The unique color in Myanmar (Burmese) rubies is described as "pigeon’s blood". They are known in the trade as “Mogok” rubies. In central Myanmar the area of Mong Hsu also produces rubies. The latest ruby deposit to be found in Myanmar is situated in Nam Ya. In 2002 rubies were found in the Waseges River area of Kenya. Sometimes spinels are found along with rubies in the same rocks and are mistaken for rubies. However, fine red spinels may approach the average ruby in value.[1]



By the way, its good too for future invesment
The value of natural rubies varies depending on their size, cut, origin, clarity and quality. As of 2000, a gem quality, uncut one carat (0.2 g) ruby cost about $4,200 USD.[2] As of 2008, an average quality, certified, untreated 1 carat (0.2 g) ruby cost between $800 to $3,500 USD.[3] Since it is easy to spot synthetic rubies by their lack of natural inclusions, they have not greatly affected the price of natural rubies.[4] Synthetic rubies are much less valuable.

Modern taste of Beckham family

Victoria and David Beckham house in LA the multi-million-dollar mansion is "modern, airy, very light and spacious with lots of windows," a source close to the couple says its needs a bit of work inside.
The house they've chosen is big but not huge," says the source. "That said, it is big enough for them as a family of five, along with additional space for family members that will visit from Britain. They needed a fair amount of extra room for visitors as [guests] will stay a while longer than [they did during] visits to them in Spain."
