RUB|ES VALUED
HIGH AMONG
GEMS
Qualities of the Better Stones
Give Them Value Above
Diamonds.

Some prefer diamonds, others
pearls and there are those who
think the ruby has more character
than either of these.
There are three kinds of rubies,
the Oriental, which is the most
valued and is the only true ruby;
the Spinel ruby and the Balas ruby.
In the series Of precious stones, the
Oriental ruby ranks next to the
diamond. It is easily recognized
by its blood-red color, sometimes
modified by milky reflections, its
linpidity, and It's velvetness-three
qualities which render it Of high
price in the eyes of connoisseurs-
and by its hardness, in which re-
Spect it is not inferior to the
diamond.
The natural ruby may be found
TO be Of an oval or rounded shape
and is always capable of cleavage.
The finest rubies are imported from
Ceylon. Those Of India occupy the
second rank, and those of China
the third. The beautiful rubies of
the Orient are extremely rare, and
therefore, those which are of a con.
siderable rize, Of fine velvety
nuance, and Of perfect limpidity,
fetch a higher sum than diamonds
OF the same volume. It is on
record that some rubies have been
discovered as large as one-half Of
hens egg, but these are very
rare.
The Oriental ruby possesses the
power Of double refraction. The
most intense heat changes neither
Its extreme hardness, 1t Is very
difficult to engrave. A curious
property was anciently attributed
. to the Oriental ruby; namely, that
It foretold to the wearer, by the
frequent change and darkening Of
its color, the approach of some in.
OVitable calamity. Another supposed
property of this valued gem was
that it gave light in the darkness.
OF some rubies formerly held in
: high estimation, it seems nowadays
impossible to recover any traces.
What has become Of the fair ruby
as large as a racket ball." which
Queen Elizabeth showed to Sir
James Melville? Runjeet Singh
possessed ruby, equal in weight
to four cen rupees, with the names
OF several kings engraved upon it.
Who is now the owner of it?
Nothing is known Of the three
rubies. belonging to Charles the
Bold, Duke of Burgundy, which he
called the "Three Brothers," or Of
the two named La Hottie ct Ia Belle
de Flanders"
