Yes, anything that changes what it looks like is a physical change, and anything that changes it chemically like burning is chemical.

Like many other materials, rubies can be melted (extremely high temperatures) molded into other Jewelry objects, and other things. These are all changes to it's physical form, I'm not sure about chemical changes though, except that getting rid of some of it's components (like aluminum), or adding new ones (such as iron) will change the composition into another substance. (Object Transmutation. Yes it is possible to change lead into gold. This is not a 'legend')

(to first contributor: melting is still a physical change, it only changes the form and the state it is in, it is not a chemical change, which changes the substance completely)

Is luster a chemical or physical?

Lustre is a physical property, because... Look up a few definitions of "chemical property." In every one you will find that it involves chemical reactions, or changes in the identity of a substance. Lustre (shininess) is a property that can be observed without any chemical changes to the substance, so it can't be a chemical property.
