Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. When corundum occurs in any other color it is referred to as a Sapphire.More important than the gem's locality of origin is the actual color and clarity of the stone. Rubies that are the most valuable will be pure red in color,without any modifying tones of violet, orange or brown and are transparent in clarity.The brightest and most valuable shade of red, called Blood-Red or Pigeon Blood. A fine ruby is among the most expensive of any stone in the world. OCCURRENCE: Much lesser known are deposits of ruby found in Afghanistan.Although reports of rubies mined in Afghanistan were first chronicled by Marco Polo,the mines have long been shrouded in secrecy and mystery. True rubies are found in Afghanistan at Jegdalek, east of Kabul, which is located in a continental collision zone between the Asian and Indian plates.The deposits occur in metamorphosed limestone (marble) which are found on both plates. UV Fluorescence: It is very strongly fluorescent displaying bright red with LWUV,and weaker red with SWUV. The chromium present in ruby causes a natural red fluorescence which is stimulated by both visible and invisible (ultraviolet) light. However, when a ruby contains a significant amount of iron in addition to the chromium, the fluorescence is reduced.Rubies naturally fluoresce stronger to long wave UV than short wave. Stones with the strongest fluorescence are often a pinkish red color in daylight.
