Rubies form over millions of years under specific conditions within the Earth's crust, typically at depths of 18 to 25 miles. The process involves the crystallization of corundum (aluminum oxide) in the presence of chromium, which gives rubies their red color. While the exact duration can vary based on geological factors, it generally takes several million years for a ruby to fully develop.
