The English name Ruby, which is derived from the Latin Ruber, meaning red, it is a kind of corundum. In ancient times, in India and Myanmar, people once thought that rubies were originally a kind of special white stones. Over time, they will absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and finally ignite the fire contained in the stones, thus becoming red gems. If it’s not the time and mined by people in advance, they will not have a bright red color, but a dull or reddish color.
Origin
Most natural rubies come from Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, China, etc.), Africa (Mozambique, Tanzania), Oceania (Australia), and the Americas (Montana and South Carolina in the United States). Now ruby is mainly produced in Mozambique.
