**Ruby – The King of Gemstones**  

The name *Ruby* comes from the Latin word *ruber*, meaning "red." Its hardness is second only to diamond (diamond ranks 10 on the Mohs scale). Not only is ruby extremely rare, but its vivid, magnificent, blood‑red colour has also earned it the title "King of Gemstones," and it is one of the "Four Precious Gemstones." Ruby emits a rich, dazzling glow, ranging from pale pink to deep red tones. Because of its rarity, it is an exceptionally precious gemstone – top‑quality rubies are even rarer than diamonds.
