Here comes our first announcement for December month. Considering suggestions by all of you, we have chosen Ruby for Gemstone Each Month Series this month. We had options of choosing a birthstone again too, but we wanted to contribute towards the fight against HIV/AIDS. As december is HIV/AIDS awareness month, and its been symbolized with RED. Chossing ruby for GEMS December made only sense. HOPE you will help us spread the word :-)

Some quick facts about ruby :-

A ruby is a pink to blood-red gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide).
The red color is caused mainly by the presence of the element chromium.
Its name comes from ruber, Latin for red.
The ruby is considered one of the four precious stones, together with the sapphire, the emerald, and the diamond.
