The  Cut Ruby Gemstone – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a cut ruby. Ruby is a blueish-orange to blood-red gemstone, a variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide). Ruby is one of the most popular traditional jewellery gems and is very durable. Other varieties of gem-quality corundum are called sapphires, and rubies are also sometimes referred to as “red sapphires”.Ruby is one of the traditional cardinal gems, alongside amethyst, sapphire, emerald, and diamond. The word ruby comes from ruber, Latin for red. The color of a ruby is due to the presence of chromium.Some gemstones that are popularly or historically called rubies, such as the Black Prince’s Ruby in the British Imperial State Crown, are actually spinels. These were once known as “Balas rubies”..
