Balsa Ruby in Black Matrix

Symbolic Meanings:
Passion and Love
Power and Inner Strength
Wealth and Prosperity
Protection and Courage
Associations:
Chakra: Root and Heart
Zodiac Signs: Capricorn, Aries, Cancer, Leo, Scorpio, Sagittarius
Planet: Sun
Element: Fire
Vibration Number: 3
Origin: Various regions, but ruby in matrix is commonly found in places like India and Africa.
Spiritual and Emotional Significance:
Balsa Ruby set within a black matrix not only showcases the vibrant red hues of the ruby but also accentuates its fiery essence with a contrasting backdrop. This juxtaposition symbolizes the balance of passion and grounding, heart and root, emotion and reason. The ruby, known for invoking passion, courage, and protection, draws out enthusiasm and zest for life. Its positioning within the protective black matrix can amplify feelings of safety and grounding.
Healing Properties:
Ruby is believed to enhance energy and vitality, and can help in rejuvenating one's physical vitality. It's also associated with improving blood circulation and combating exhaustion. The protective qualities of the black matrix can further shield its wearer from negative energies.
Geological Properties:
Ruby, being a form of corundum, crystallizes in the hexagonal system. When it's found within a matrix, it means the ruby crystals have grown within a host rock rather than as isolated gem-grade crystals. This matrix can be a variety of minerals, but in the case of Balsa Ruby, it's typically a dark, almost black stone which can include basalt or biotite, among others. This combination gives the gem its distinctive appearance.

This stone helps foster a connection between the conscious and the unconscious mind, amplifying intuition and insight. It encourages spontaneity, creativity, and the expression of one's true self. On an emotional level, Ethiopian Opal can assist in processing feelings, enhancing self-worth, and helping one to release deeply rooted fears.

Geological Properties:
Ethiopian Opals are a form of hydrated silica. Unlike most other opals, Ethiopian Opals originate from volcanic activity and are found in rhyolite layers.

These opals are also known for their hydrophane property, where they can absorb water and become temporarily transparent.
