WHAT IS RUBY?

Ruby is the red gemstone variety of the mineral corundum. Its characteristic color is mainly caused by small amounts of chromium in the crystal lattice.

While transparent rubies are often processed into faceted gemstones, naturally grown raw crystals are particularly interesting for mineral collectors.

They show the original crystal forms, natural growth structures, and the fascinating color variety of the mineral.
