Ruby quartz is clear to milky quartz threaded with deep red, the color coming from tiny mineral inclusions caught inside rather than from genuine ruby, despite the name. It's a stone for rebuilding confidence after something knocked it down, a hard year, a hard no, a version of yourself you're trying to grow back into. Carry it in a pocket on a day you need to advocate for yourself, or hold it before you walk into a room where you'd normally shrink. The red comes from hematite or a related iron mineral woven through the quartz as it formed, which is why the color shows in streaks and clouds rather than an even wash. It's polished into a smooth tumble that catches the red best in direct light. You'll be sent the one intuitively chosen for you. A quiet kind of red for building your nerve back.
