Crystal Heart Cascade - Ruby Chime

Among the statues, bowls, and ritual goods on 14th Street is this wind chime: Crystal Heart Cascade - Ruby Chime (shop SKU CCHY).

A wind chime is hung outdoors or in a breezy window so the tubes or ornaments can move and sound. Hang it where it can move freely, away from a door that might strike it. Ruby is the red variety of corundum, a very hard gem mineral.

In crystal traditions, ruby is associated with vitality and devotion. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.
