Ruby is one of the highest
valued colored gemstones, in fact, large rubies can fetch higher prices than equivalently sized diamonds. Ruby
has been prized for centuries because of its excellent Mohs scale hardness of
9, along with its treasured rich red hue and vitreous luster. Ruby is a variety of
corundum that gets its red color
from chromium. Corundum that occurs in any color other than
red, is classified
as sapphire. In its pure form, corundum
is completely colorless. The word "corundum" comes from the Tamil
"kurundam", meaning "ruby sapphire"
