Morgan, Diane - Fire and Blood~Rubies in Myth, Magic, and History^reup

Morgan provides an overview of scientific, historical, and magical characteristics of rubies in eight chapters. The red variety of corundum (aluminum oxide with traces of chromium), rubies are second to diamonds in hardness yet prized as much--if not more so by some--as them. Morgan certainly discusses the technical aspects of the stone, but clearly her interests are the history, legends, myths, and magic associated with rubies.
