Rubies are found in the asian and african countries predominently in Afghanistan,Burma (Myanmar), Cambodia, Kenya, Madagascar, Sri Lanka,Tanzania,Thailand,and Vietnam. Rubies and sapphires come from the same family but the red ones are called rubies and the other colors in the corundum family are called sapphires. The term ruby comes from the latin 'ruber', meaning red and in sanskrit the ruby is called the 'king of precious stones'. During the course of history, rubies have been so highly prized and valued that they have, at times, reached a value over 7 times the value of diamonds. Throughout history, rubies have been considered the 'King of Gems.' Treasured by royalty, religion, and various cultures, rubies have mesmerized the world with their beauty. Rubies today are often considered a good investment for their beauty, value and hardness.
