Polished rubies
Polished rubies. Ruby is a red variety of the mineral corundum (aluminium oxide). Small amounts of chromium oxide, substituting for aluminium oxide, give it its red colour. Rubies are found in Burma, on the Malay Peninsula, and in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Brazil. Natural rubies are highly prized as gemstones, but rubies can also be produced artificially, and such synthetic stones are used in lasers and watches. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © VAUGHAN FLEMING/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of polished rubies, each one gleaming with an enchanting red hue. Rubies, known as the red variety of the mineral corundum, derive their striking color from small amounts of chromium oxide that replace aluminum oxide within their structure. These precious gemstones are primarily found in various regions across the globe including Burma, the Malay Peninsula, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, and Brazil. Natural rubies hold immense value and are highly sought after for their exquisite beauty. Admired for centuries by royalty and collectors alike, these gems have become symbols of passion and power. However, it is worth noting that synthetic rubies can also be created artificially through advanced processes. Beyond their use as coveted gemstones adorning jewelry pieces fit for royalty or enhancing personal style statements, rubies possess other remarkable applications. Synthetic ruby stones play a crucial role in cutting-edge technology such as lasers and watches due to their exceptional optical properties. In this mesmerizing photograph captured by Science Photo Library's talented lensman/woman (not sure about gender), we are invited to appreciate the natural allure of these polished rubies without delving into commercial aspects or specific company references. The image serves as a testament to nature's ability to create breathtaking wonders while hinting at humanity's ingenuity in harnessing them for scientific advancements.
