Mineralogical Properties

Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum (Al₂O₃) and is one of the hardest and rarest gemstones in the world. It gets its name from the Latin rubeus – “red” – which replaced the older term "carbuncle" in the 12th century. The characteristic red color – from delicate pink to vibrant carmine red to deep crimson – is caused by chromium impurities in the crystal lattice. Its Mohs hardness is 9, making ruby one of the hardest minerals after diamond. Ruby crystallizes in the trigonal system and exhibits a characteristic glassy luster. Important deposits are Myanmar (Mogok), Sri Lanka, Thailand, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Madagascar.
