Ruby have been a important gemstone in many cultures for thousands of years.  The red color is caused mainly by the presence of the element chromium. Ruby is a tough and durable gem. It is suitable for all kinds of jewelry. Inclusions and color impurities are common, and are used to tell the difference between a synthetic and natural stone.

Ruby is the birthstone for July.
