Ruby
Ruby is a powerful, vibrant gemstone of passion, vitality, and life-force energy. It is the red variety of corundum and has been treasured for thousands of years as a stone of power, protection, and nobility.
Appearance:
Ruby ranges from deep blood-red and crimson to pinkish-red, sometimes with purplish or brownish undertones. It can be transparent to opaque and often occurs naturally with inclusions or in host rock such as zoisite, kyanite, or marble.
Where It’s Found:
Major ruby deposits are found in Myanmar (Burma), Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam, Madagascar, Tanzania, Mozambique, Afghanistan, and India.
Rarity:
High-quality gem-grade rubies are rare and highly valuable, especially untreated stones with rich, vivid red colour. Rubies with strong fluorescence and minimal inclusions are particularly prized.
UV Reactivity:
Most natural rubies fluoresce bright red under UV light due to their chromium content — this glow is a key feature of genuine ruby and is often used in gem identification.
