Forged in Fire: The Origin and Formation of Rubies
Rubies belong to the corundum family, sharing their chemical composition with sapphires. Their fiery red hue comes from a trace element – chromium – that paints the crystal structure with vibrant color. These precious stones are formed under extreme pressure and high temperatures, often deep within the earth’s mantle. Geologic processes like volcanic eruptions or plate movements then bring these treasures closer to the surface, where they can be mined.
