Ruby is red corundum, all other varieties of corundum being referred to as sapphire. Corundum is the second hardest substance on the Mohs scale, with a rating of 9. It is this combination of excellent hardness and the rich color and silky shine that make fine ruby gems so valuable. Rubies range in color from pinkish to orangey and purplish and brownish red, depending on the chromium and iron content of the stone. Most experts expect a medium to medium-dark color tone in a very good ruby gemstone.The traditional sources for fine rubies are Burma and Thailand. Mogok in the Mandalay region of Myanmar (Burma) has been called "The Valley of Rubies" because of its abundance of fine ruby gems. Today we also find many affordable rubies coming from Africa and Madagascar.

Gem Select has a great selection of products and it is very easy to navigate the website and find what you are looking for.
Gemselect had such a fantastic selection of all gems I could want, in pairs, lots, or singles, and if I wanted some gems to be just 1/10th of a millimeter bigger or smaller, they had that variance also, which is massively helpful for the specific pieces I make with their gems. I could even select different qualities of clarity and tone, which really helps my projects a lot too. I never regret a purchase made from gemselect, they help me run my custom jewelry business better with their products.
I was looking to get some stones to help turn into a necklace for my daughter, but other sites didn't have exactly what I wanted, I found it on GemSelect though, and I think it will turn out really really well!
Once again, the picture of the gem shown did not match the stone I received. I believe they are the same stones, but the pics shown were enhanced some way to show the beauty and coloration of the stone. I could NOT see the coloration. I should have realized that would happen.
