Answer 2

The Ruby is an aluminum oxide (Al 2 O3). The ruby belongs to the gemstone family of corundum. The most pure form of corundum is colourless, but presence of trace elements adds colour to a corundum gem. The cause of colour in ruby is chromium. “Ruby” is derived for a Latin word Ruber, which means red. However, the word “corundum” is derived from Hindu words Kurand or Kuruvinda.

Answer 3

It's up to you if you want a natural or lab-created ruby. It's a matter of budget.

Answer 4

DO YOU MEAN IS IT MINED OUT OF THE EARTH OR LAB CREATED ?--------- BOTH ----THE LAB GROWN ARE CLEANER AND LARGER AND CHEAPER , WHILE THE PERFECT MINED ONES ARE EXTREMELY RARE AND CAN GO FOR AS HIGH AS $ 35,000 PER CARAT . A PERFECT RUBY IS MANY TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN A DIAMOND .
