What is July's birthstone?
They say, a ruby is the best birthday present for the ones born in July. Rubies are beautiful stones, believed to give health, wisdom and happiness in love. Ruby is the second hardest gemstone after diamond, so ruby is quite durable and firm to wear every day. Rubies differ in color, the darker the more valuable. Fine-quality rubies are rare - isn't it a perfect thing to present in honor of your love?

Who decides what stone for each month? Is it enshrined in some law? Surely it's just marketing?

There’s probably a ruby society, which prevents too many rubies (especially the larger ones) to be on the market at a given time. Just like for diamonds.

Birthstones for the calendar month of July are ruby, sapphire, onyx, sardonyx, and carnelian. The Zodiac signs of Cancer and Leo include five additional stones: emerald, moonstone, pearl, diamond, and tourmaline.
