A. Chromium is the main reason ruby's are red.
The two main elements present in a red ruby--aluminium and oxygen. This is actually the exact same main elements found in a sapphire, which has the same chemical composition but simply differs in colour which is caused by traces of a different elements (iron, titanium) which causes it to be blue versus a rubies red colour. The red colour of the ruby is due to traces of chromium in the aluminum oxide. Corundum (the aluminum oxide base of these gems) can be turned blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange, greenish or pink-orange by the impurities.
Depending on its oxidation state and the environment it is in, it can be.Chromium colors include black, red, orange, green, and yellow.Chromate salts contain the chromate ion, CrO4-2, and have an intense yellow color.Dichromate salts contain the dichromate ion, Cr2O7-2, and are an intense orange color.Chromic acid ( chromium trioxide, CrO3) is redChromic oxide is a dark greenAs a plated metal chromium is essentialy colorless.
Hydrated chromium(lll) oxide with composition Cr2O3 . 2H2O is known as Guigret's green. lt is a powder with brilliant green colour.
All rubies are not red .Its colour varies from deep to pale red, in some cases with a tinge of purple, depending on chromium and iron content.

blue sapphire :).

There are many different types of gemstones that owe their color to Chromium. The colors are determined by other chemicals in the stone and the saturation of the stone is generally due to the Chromium content.
The greek word "chrōma" (χρώμα), meaning colour
It is the scientific piece of matter that is your fat mum
For example: chromium, nickel, uranium salts.

Probable nickel or chromium oxides.
Titanium's natural appearance is a metallic silverish-white colour, although it can be anodized for a variety of colours ranging from red-orange.
