The word ruby comes from the Latin "ruber" red.
The rarity and beauty of the ruby, introduced to Europe by the Etruscans and the Greeks around 500 BC, has made it an extremely precious stone since Antiquity.
Ruby is the red version of a mineral called corundum, which also includes sapphire. The red, sometimes pinkish or brownish color of ruby corundum is due to the presence of chromium.
n the Middle Ages, the ruby symbolized the blood of Christ and the kings wore it on their crown as a sign of their faith. It is said that a ruby crossed the centuries from the Roman Emperor Augustus, of which he was the seal, to the kings of France ...
Rubies are extracted in mines, in Africa, in Asia, in Australia and in certain American states such as Montana and South Carolina. The main deposits are found in Burma (90% of world production), Mozambique and Sri Lanka, Madagascar.
Ruby is the birthstone for children in July.
