Ruby Gemstones are exquisite, rare, and highly sought-after gemstones known for their vibrant red color. These precious stones belong to the corundum mineral family, which also includes sapphires. The intense red hue of rubies is caused by the presence of chromium in their composition. Ruby gemstones are known for their exceptional hardness, ranking at 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamonds.
