    "Stone" and July Bioccurning Stone, one of the four gems in the world, has a very precious status in the gem world. It is also one of the favorite varieties of the members of the treasure jade center. However, there are many places for rubies, different varieties, and different colors. How to distinguish it? Treasure Center will introduce some of the basic concepts of ruby ​​today.

    In gemstone, ruby ​​and sapphire belong to the Gangyu family. The main chemical components are aluminum oxides (al2O3). In the traditional category of gemstones, the colorful gems of the dark red to the dark red are collectively referred to as "ruby", and the rigid jade gems with all colors except ruby ​​are collectively referred to as "sapphire". This is a very ideal method of division, because in reality, it is difficult for people to truly divide pink sapphire and light ruby.

    At present, the division of the promotion in my country is based on the "GB/T16553-2003" Jewelry and Jade Appraisal "standard. In this division method, ruby ​​refers to the red gemstone, which includes red, orange -red, purple -red, brown -red gemstones. The other pink and purple gemstones in this way are classified into the category of sapphire with blue, blue -green, yellow, orange, gray, black, colorless, etc., and can be directly named "sapphire".

    The ruby ​​is one of the earliest precious gems people that people discovered and used. The imitation and processing technology are also very mature, and it is difficult for ordinary consumers to distinguish through the naked eye.

  2. Ruby refers to a red jade with color. It is a kind of Gangyu. The main ingredient is alumina (al₂o ₃). Red comes from chromium (CR), mainly CR2O3. The content is generally 0.1 ~ 3%, and the highest is 4%. It contains TI and is blue and sapphire (quoted from "Mineral Foundation"). Natural rubies are mostly from Asia (Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Xinjiang, China, Yunnan, China, etc.), Africa, Oceania (Australia), and the Americas (Montana and South Carolina in the United States). Natural ruby ​​is very rare, so it is precious, but it is not too difficult to synthesize ruby, so industrial rubies are synthesized. In 1999, a red and blue -gangyu body was found in Changle County, Shandong Province, China, weighing 67.5 carats, known as the "cricket gem", which can be called a rare miracle in the world. In 2012, the largest ruby ​​mine was found in the Karakashn River Bed in Moyu County, Hotan area in Xinjiang.
