红宝石象征热情、仁爱和尊严。《圣经》中说:“智慧的价值超过红宝石。”传说红宝石是上帝造万物时所造的12种奇石中最珍贵的一种。在缅甸,其历史可追溯到石器和青铜时代,在魔谷那些具有传奇色彩的矿井里经常能够挖出人称“鸽血”的纯红宝石,没学过化学的古人认为它是死鸟的化身。缅甸还流传着一个在“无底山谷”中“闪光的红色宝石”的古老传说。当地人把一块块生肉投向山谷引诱秃鹫,希望宝石粘在肉上被秃鹫吃下,然后将秃鹫杀死后就可以得到这 Ruby symbolizes enthusiasm, love and dignity. The Bible says: “Wisdom has more value than rubies.” It is said that rubies are the most precious of the 12 kinds of strange stones made by God when he created all things. In Myanmar, its history can be traced back to the Stone Age and Bronze Age. In the legendary mines in the Valley, it is often possible to excavate pure rubies, known as “pigeon blood”. The ancients who had never studied chemistry believed it to be the embodiment of a dead bird. Myanmar also circulates an ancient legend of “the gleaming red gem” in the “bottomless valley.” The locals took a piece of raw meat to the valley to lure the vulture, hoping that the gem would stick to the meat and be eaten by a vulture, and then kill the vulture and get it.
