A ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum. The word ruby comes from the Latin rubens, which means red. The red hue comes from traces of the mineral chromium.  The most precious rubies are those with a full, rich red color with just a hint of blue tones. Rubies are extremely strong, registering 9 on the Mohs scale of hardness. They are as resilient as sapphires and only slightly softer than diamonds. Rubies have been sourced from all over the world but common places include Africa, US, Myanmar and Australia. As the ruby is such a rare gemstone you will find that most have imperfections and inclusions. A ruby with none should be questioned as this is most likely synthetic and not a naturally sourced stone. You are guaranteed your stone is 100% authentic with some slight flaws.
