Welcome to our ruby tale! Rubies, a variety of corundum, are renowned for their stunning red hue, colored by chromium. Originating from the Latin word “ruber,” meaning red, rubies can also exhibit orange, pink, or purple tints. Formed under intense heat and pressure beneath the earth’s surface, rubies are a testament to nature's beauty and power. Their rarity is underscored by their mining locations, with Burma producing some of the finest specimens. Measuring 9 on the Mohs scale, rubies are durable gemstones, surpassed only by diamonds in hardness. Despite their toughness, the presence of chromium can lead to cracks and fissures, adding to their allure and mystique. As one of the rarest gemstones, rubies are highly prized, particularly those of exceptional quality and size. Used primarily in jewelry, rubies also find applications in various industries, thanks to their strength and red fluorescence. The largest ruby, the 125West Ruby, weighs a staggering 18,696 carats, showcasing t...
