At Mohs 9 it is the second-hardest natural mineral after diamond. One of the four classical precious gemstones, Ruby was used as a talisman of warriors and kings across ancient Burma, India, Thailand, and China, and appears in crown jewels worldwide. Ruby is sourced from Myanmar, historically the finest, along with Madagascar, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
