RUBY Gems & Jewelry

99.9% of genuine gems have flaws. Please remember you are looking at the gems shown here at high magnification. EXPECT flaws! I do not sell man made stones.

Ruby is the birth stone for those born in July. Corundum, with traces of chromium responsible for the color. Rubies are 9 on the moh's scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10). Sapphires and rubies are the same, other than the color.Ruby. More expensive that diamond at times. The most expensive ruby to my knowledge is the 25.59 carat Sunrise Ruby which sold at auction in 2015 for $30,420,000.00. Hindus consider ruby very spiritual.... believe the red comes from an eternal flame that no human can extinguish. Believed to put fire into one's life, and bring economic prosperity.
