Sapphire, the other gem variety of corundum, encompasses all colors of corundum aside from red. In essence, ruby is a red sapphire, since ruby and sapphire are identical in all properties except for color. The color of ruby ranges from bright red to dark reddish-brown. The most preferred color is a deep blood red with a slightly bluish hue. Such ruby is known as "Burmese Ruby" or "Pigeon's Blood Ruby". Ruby from Burma is famous for its exceptional coloring. However, Burmese ruby rarely exceeds several carats; large flawless Burmese rubies can be worth millions of dollars. Most rubies on the market are from Thailand, and these rubies have a brownish hue. They can be heat-treatmed to improve color. Heat-treating a ruby can also increase its transparency by removing tiny internal flaws.<br /><br />Inclusions of tiny, slender, parallel Rutile needles in ruby cause a polished gem to exhibit asterism. Rubies displaying asterism are known as "Star Rubies", and if transparent are highly prized. Star rubies exists in six ray stars. Very rarely, twelve ray stars also occur. Occasionally, ruby also exhibits cat's eye effect.<br />Color zoning, which forms from growth layers that build up during the formation of the stone, is present in certain rubies.<br /><br />Rubies were first synthesized in 1902. The process of creating synthetic rubies is known as the Verneuil process. Many rubies on the market are synthetic. Only experts can distinguish between natural and synthetic rubies.<br /><br />Ruby is a tough and durable gem, but it is still subject to chipping and fracture if handled roughly.<br /><br /><br />USES<br />Ruby is faceted into many styles of cuts, although the brilliant and step cuts are the most preferred. Stones displaying asterism are polished as cabochons. Synthetic rubies are inexpensive and often used as a substitute for natural rubies.<br /><br />Ruby is the birthstone for July.<br /><br /><br />VARIETIES<br /> Burmese Ruby - Ruby with exceptional color<br /> Pigeon's Blood Ruby - Blood-red ruby with a hint of blue<br /> Star Ruby - Ruby displaying asterism<br /> Cat's Eye Ruby - Ruby exhibiting cat's eye effect<br /> Burma Ruby - Synonym of Burma ruby (above)<br /> Verneuil<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7018134360446481556-3963406320293486819?l=ruby-seller.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>devhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03596678999304640687noreply@blogger.com1
