What is the refractive index of ruby?
1.53
How does a ruby feel when you touch it?
A cut ruby is smooth and very hard, like a diamond. An uncut ruby may be rough and bumpy and still have sediment around it.
Can a real diamond be broken?
It depends realy what type of dimond it is like a ruby can be and a crystal can't . Thanks for asking.
Why is a ruby so important?
The ruby gemstone is next only to the diamond in terms of hardness and pricing. For a ruby to be born in the natural environment, a perfect combination of aluminum oxide, correct temperature, correct pressure in the earth's crust and very low silicon content is a requisite. This makes rubies very rarely available gems in nature and hence they are so precious and important!
Is a ruby transparent?
yes the ruby is mostly transparent. The lead increases the transparency of ruby.
How do you make a ruby diamond?

Why is diamond like a ruby?
Diamond is NOT like a ruby.

Will a ruby scratch a diamond?
Not a real diamond, no.
How do you get the 6 tiles in Pokemon Sapphare and Ruby?

Properties of a ruby?
The chemical composition of ruby is aluminum oxide (Al 2 O3). Its specific gravity is 3.99 to 4.00 and refractive index range is 1.760-1.768 to 1.770-1.779. Ruby's hardness on Mohs scale is 9. It's the next hardest mineral after diamond.
Can you trade between ruby and diamond?
No, you can't trade between Diamond and Ruby, but you can transfer Pokemon from Ruby to Diamond after you've beaten the elite four on Diamond, but unfortunately, you can't transfer back, so really think about it before you try to.

Why does diamond shine more than emerald or ruby?
'Shine' is an observed, subjective judgement, and you are the judge. At least two characteristics are involved in gemstone shine: cut/ clarity of the stone and the innate refractive index of each. A flawless diamond of an excellent cut is impossible to match in terms of gemstone shine. Both emeralds and rubies are valued on colour, then on clarity or cut. Practically, diamond has a high refractive index 2.4 according to "Standard refractive index measurements taken at yellow doublet sodium D line, with a wavelength of 589 nanometres"1. Ruby measures 1.76 and emerald measures 1.57. You can compare gemstones and the refractive index of each, below. ________________ 1 Wikipedia: List of Refractive Indices
