Ruby

Ruby is a beautiful, shiny gemstone that is red, like a bright sunset. It comes from a mineral called corundum, which is made of aluminium oxide. Rubies are very strong and are often used to make pretty jewelry.

The name ruby comes from a Latin word meaning red, because of its lovely red color. This special red color is caused by a tiny bit of a metal called chromium inside the stone.

Ruby is the traditional birthstone for people born in the month of July. Many people love to wear rubies because they are so colorful and sparkly.

Rubies can be found in many places around the world, such as Thailand, Cambodia, and Mozambique. Some of the biggest and most famous rubies are kept in museums, where people can go to see them.

Rubies are special because of their bright red color, and they are cherished by many for their beauty and strength.
