About this ebook
Ruby Creation explores the fascinating geological journey of rubies, from their mineral origins to their coveted status as gemstones. It reveals how common minerals transform into treasures, delving into the earth sciences to uncover the conditions where rubies are born. A key aspect is understanding how corundum, the foundation of ruby, combines with chromium to create the signature red hue.
The book explains geological processes such as plate tectonics, magmatism and metamorphism which are critical in ruby formation. The book also touches on the economic significance of rubies, highlighting their influence on global trade and mining practices.
The book begins by introducing mineralogy and progresses through the geological processes involved in ruby creation. It concludes by examining ruby exploration, mining, and ethical considerations within the gemstone trade. This approach makes complex concepts accessible to a broad audience, from gem enthusiasts to earth science students.
