They are composed of the mineral corundum, which is an aluminum oxide (Al₂O₃). The red color of rubies is primarily due to the presence of trace amounts of chromium. Rubies belong to the same family as sapphires, and the distinction between the two lies in the color: red corundum is classified as ruby, while corundum of any other color is classified as sapphire. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe term \"star ruby\" refers to rubies that exhibit asterism—a star-like optical phenomenon. This effect is caused by the presence of needle-like inclusions of the mineral rutile within the ruby. When a star ruby is cut, light reflecting off these inclusions forms a star pattern, typically with six rays, though stars with four or twelve rays can also occur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe rubies in this lot are elongated naturally formed ruby crystals.

The Root Chakra is considered the foundation of energy, stability, and grounding in the body, representing our sense of safety, security, and basic survival instincts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Al₂O₃\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChakra\u003c\/b\u003e: Root\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e:  2.5cm x 1cm x 1cm\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 10g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMedium\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 2.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 15g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLarge\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 3cm x 2cm x 1.5cm\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 25g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eX-Large\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 5.5cm x 2.25cm x 2.25cm\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 50g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
