紅寶石 歷史傳說
聖經中的約伯說： 智慧的價值超過紅寶石，說明當時剛玉的紅色變種（紅寶石）就是非常貴重的和被人珍視的。人們常用許多美麗的詞藻來形容紅寶石的華麗高貴。在梵語中（印度古代的一種語言）紅寶石有許多名字，譬如ratnaraj（寶石之王），ratnanayaka（寶石之冠），padmaraga（紅蓮）等等。所有這些名字顯然說明，印度人比別的民族更珍視這種寶石。今天，紅寶石仍是寶石之珍品，仍象世世代代的傳統那樣，普遍作為七月生辰石。一首出處不明的小詩寫道：星光閃閃，紅寶石，七月生人，佩在身。
牢牢拴住愛人心，和諧幸福，永安寧。古代，圍繞著紅寶石流傳著許許多多的傳說和奇異的宗教信條。有一種傳說認為，戴紅寶石的人會健康長壽，發財富，聰明智慧，愛情美滿幸福。而且，左手戴上一個紅寶石戒指或左側戴一枚紅寶石胸飾，就會具有一種逢凶化吉，變敵為友的魔力，古羅馬人將紅寶石統稱為 carbunculus（紅榴石）。普林尼說道、寶石工很善於仿製紅寶石，他們將金屬薄片放在其下，造成光彩奪目的好火。他還寫道：據傳說，埃塞俄比亞人將他們的暗色和黑色紅石榴浸在醋裏，經過14天后，變成純潔可愛，並能保持14個月。
聖經告訴我們，紅寶石象徵著猶太部落。亞倫法衣上的第四顆寶石或是石榴石或是紅寶石。在這顆寶石上刻著猶太的名字。自從猶太人宣佈建立以色列王位以來，這顆珍貴的寶石一直是皇冠上的寵物。 許多世紀以來，印度人相信無色的藍寶石是未發育成熟的。緬甸的寶石礦工認為，顏色暗淡的紅寶石如果埋在地下，最終將變成鮮紅色的。他們認為，紅寶石是剛玉族的發育最成熟的成員。緬甸流傳著一個在 無底山谷中閃光的紅色寶石的古老傳說。當地人把一塊塊生肉投向山谷引誘禿鷲，希望寶石粘在肉上，將禿鷲殺死後就可以得到這些寶石。一千零一夜即天方夜譚一書在辛巴德的冒險經歷中，也談到了類似的故事。緬甸人珍視紅寶石，不僅因為它美麗，還因為緬甸人相信紅寶石能保佑人不受傷害，為此必須在人身上割開一個小口，把寶石鑲進去。傳說，志願施行這種手術的武士就會刀槍不入。
