Can Rubies Be Man-Made?
Yes, in a nutshell, rubies can be synthetically made. These type of synthetic rubies are, to be technical, formed when fusion of aluminum oxide occurs. The synthetic rubies then get their unforgettable red color through the addition of chromium oxide. Since these manmade rubies are identical to natural rubies in both chemical properties and physical appearance, only a specially trained gemologist will be able to tell the two rubies apart. Thus, it is extremely important that you buy your ruby from a website with a great reputation.
