All about rubies.
30 05 2006
Sometimes I feel like I’m not seeing many rubies these days, and I think that’s a shame. The ruby is one of the most beautiful gemstones, and its deep red hues set the perfect mood for romance and passion.
The ruby is a very rare gemstone, and as such a lot of the rubies you may find in jewelry today are made through an artificial method of mixing chromium into aluminum oxide know was the Verneuil process. These rubies are actually 100% perfect, and in the mineral sense at least are true rubies, but natural rubies still demand a much higher price. Rubies are naturally red but are often heated before being made into jewelry in order to maximixe their hue.
Rubies are found in the greatest abundance in Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Madagascar and Kenya.
