Fun facts:
- When rubbed on the skin, they were also thought to restore youth and vitality.
- Synthetic Ruby stones are quite common and very difficult to tell from natural stones. Only a trained eye can detect the differences in crystalline structures, all other elements are identical. When purchasing jewelry set with Rubies, be sure to ask if they have been heat treated or are lab grown.
- Burmese Ruby are the most celebrated and sought after in the world, but beautiful crystals have been found elsewhere. Some of the mines in India and Sri Lanka are almost as old as the Burma mines.
- Amazingly, new deposits of Ruby are still being found. In 1992 a brand new deposit of Ruby was discovered in North Vietnam. Some of the specimens so closely resemble the Burmese crystals that some scientists believe the crystals were formed by the same geological event.
