![]() ![]() Until the 1800s, ruby was a name that was used and mistakenly applied to many red gemstones including red spinel and red garnet gemstones and the term carbuncle was used frequently for what we now know is red garnet. The name ruby comes from the Latin word "ruber" or "rubeus" which means red. The definition of carbuncle has been dated back to the 13th century, but red gemstones have been use for jewelry and artifacts for thousands of years. One can find references in many historical documents that refer to "carbuncle" or "carbunculus" a now obsolete word meaning "small coal, charcoal or ember". So why the different names? It was only after advancements in gemology at the beginning of the 1800s that it was understood that ruby and sapphire were both corundum and that all red gemstones were not rubies. Rubies and sapphires are both aluminum oxide which is more commonly known as corundum in the gemstone community. ![]() Ruby Gemstones - The Ultimate Red Gemstone Keep in mind that these rubies look 10x better in real life.
