    Ruby – Natural, Rough, Red

    All rubies fluoresce under ultraviolet light, and some rubies have such strong fluorescence that they even seem to glow in sunlight. This property may have inspired ruby symbolism related to inner light and fire. Ruby crystal, 2.0 x 1.3 x 1.3 cm, Mogok, Sagaing District, Mandalay Division, Myanmar. © Rob Lavinsky, www.iRocks.com.
