Ruby, the "king of gemstones," is a variety of the mineral corundum, renowned for its intense red hue. This vibrant color, caused by trace amounts of chromium, ranges from deep crimson to a slightly purplish-red. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, ruby is exceptionally durable. Its rarity, combined with its striking beauty and historical significance, makes it one of the most valuable and sought-after gemstones in the world. Rubies are a symbol of passion, love, and power.
