The red-hot July birthstone – Ruby is a naturally occurring gemstone said to be the Sun’s God and the ruler of the Solar system. It ensures its brilliant characteristic of shining even in the darkness because of the presence of fire within it. Ruby is a variety of the mineral corundum. In scientific terms, Ruby is a blend of aluminium, Oxygen, Iron and Chromium. According to the scientific observatories, Corundum is one of the hardest substances on the planet and is second in hardness to Diamonds only. That is why pure and brilliant rubies are very rare and valued highly in terms of pricing.
