Ruby is an Aluminum Oxide, a variety
of Corundum. They are very valuable and popular, and can be
red, violetish-red, pinkish-red and brownish-red. The red
color is caused by minute
traces of chromium. It is a very hard and tough stone,
and will not easily break or scratch. Generally speaking,
the best looking rubies come from Burma, Thailand and
Ceylon. However there are so few rubies found now, that most
big ones are much more rare
than diamonds, and more expensive. The legend connected with Ruby is
that the wearer was blessed with health, wealth, and wisdom,
as well as being lucky in love. Do you want to find out
