Ruby, named after the Latin word for red, is a gem-quality red corundum, with its color coming from traces of chromium. The gemstone has a wide color range, including pinkish, purplish, orangey, and brownish reds, and it fluoresces in ultraviolet light. Historically treasured for its color and vitality, ruby has been found in various locations worldwide. Rubies are often enhanced through high-temperature heating and controlled cooling to improve their clarity and color. They are traditionally given as gifts for the 15th and 40th wedding anniversaries and are mentioned multiple times in the Bible, symbolizing beauty, wisdom, and great value.
