The natural ruby ​​is one of four "precious" gemstones (including diamond, emerald, and sapphire) known for their rarity, monetary value, and hardness (second only to diamond). Ruby is red corundum, an alumina mineral with chromium responsible for its rich red color. The name comes from the Latin wordRot, meaning "red", and around 1800, when the ruby ​​was recognized as a type of corundum, red spinels, tourmalines and garnets were also considered rubies. All other color variants of corundum are called sapphire.(See the Sapphire page on this site.) [Megemont, 159][Simmons, 332][gemselect.com]

Ruby forms tabular, bipyramidal or rhombohedral prismatic crystals, as well as granular or massive habit, and has a vitreous luster. The most prized and sought after rubies have a hue called "pigeon's blood", defined by William Fernie as "a pure deep red, without any hint of blue or yellow", while others define it as "a pure red with a hint of blue." ." The shade of red varies depending on where it was mined and can be a deep pinkish red, a reddish orange, a red with a purple undertone, or even a deep burgundy color. Pale pink corundum, debated by some as a ruby , is usually referred to as pink sapphire rather than ruby ​​in gemological terms.[Simmons, 332] [Fernie, 139-141] [Eason, 71] [gemselect.com] [Mindat.org]

All natural rubies exhibit imperfections, including color impurities and inclusions of rutile needles known as "silk". These inclusions help to distinguish natural ruby ​​from synthetics, and when structurally aligned so that the light shines on the "silk" in a specific way, the inclusions increase the rarity and value of the stone. Cut like a cabochon, these particular stones can exhibit a chatyancy or rare "cat's eye" effect or, in the case of a starred ruby, a six-pointed star effect called asterism, which causes rays of light to magically glide by the stone as it is moved.[wikipedia.org][gemstone.org][gemselect.com]
