Ruby gemstone (along with sapphire) is part of the corundum species. It gets its red color from chromium. The red of ruby gemstone is the only color variety not found in sapphire. Also like sapphire, significant ruby deposits have been found in Southeast Asia (for centuries Burma, now Myanmar, was the main source), Eastern and Southern Africa, the Middle East as well as Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Australia and China.
Most deposits are still worked in the primitive way they've been worked for centuries. They are panned from rivers and picked out by hand from the other minerals around them.
In their natural rough form, ruby gemstones are dull, greasy-looking stones. But cut and polished, ruby properties include high luster (comparable to diamonds), and pleochroic rich red color. Pleochroic is color that varies when you view it from different directions.
Ruby gemstone in zoisite is a combination of ruby gemstone and zoisite crystal. The only mining deposits have been found in Tanzania. Ruby gemstone in zoisite typically displays a green color but can also have pink and red inclusions.
Another combination, ruby gemstone in kyanite (also called ruby kyanite) is mined in Myanmar (Burma), India and Thailand. Its color is typically a mottled pink and red with teal and green.
In addition to ruby gemstone in its natural state, some ruby gemstones are treated in two ways, dyed and heated.
Ruby gemstones of lower quality are sometimes treated with heat (approximately 3300 degrees Fahrenheit) to make gemstones more transparent and make the color more pronounced. Another treatment is filling fractures with lead glass to improve transparency.
Less often than heated, some ruby gemstones are dyed. The method of dyeing will vary by source, vendor and the technology. Typically, ruby gemstones, which are porous, are placed in vats of dye containing organic or vegetable dyes. Chemical salts and natural pigments may also be used. The stones may soak for several weeks to allow the dye to fully penetrate the stone and produce uniform surface color.
