Natural rubies are exceptionally rare, while artificially manufactured ones are relatively cheap. In addition to the bright precious stone ruby ​​is also the less bright gemstone of the same name. This stone has been used since ancient times appreciated. The oldest written sources on the extraction of rubies are reporting grooves in Burma. Hence came the stones via trade routes to the courts and to the temples of the ancient Egyptians and Greeks. In the Middle Ages, rubies were also popular in Rome. Initially they were crafted into an oval shape. The very large and beautiful stone also have their own names. The ruby ​​was regarded as the living stone, which strengthens the heart and strength returns. In antiquity and the Middle Ages were known to rubies magical powers. In the Bible, the value of the ruby ​​also recognized, though it is in some of these passages point is that there are treasures of greater value: the wisdom is more precious than rubies (Proverbs 3:15) and the value of a good wife is that of rubies in the eyes of her husband far above (Proverbs 31).

Ruby gemstones are valued according to several characteristics such as size, color, clarity and cut. All natural rubies have imperfections and only artificial rubies may be completely free of imperfections. The fewer the number and less obvious the imperfections, the more valuable the ruby ​​is, unless there are no imperfections (ie, a "perfect" ruby).
