Ruby Quartz Tumble

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.
