Rubies and Sapphires

Did you know that Ruby is the same gemstone as Sapphire?

The truth is that we always associate the Sapphire with the color blue, but the reality is that there is a great variety of colors, in fact, the pink sapphire is highly appreciated.

However, the only thing that differentiates the sapphire from the ruby ​​is its name... for some reason they decided to call all of its kind sapphire except the red one, which they called ruby, which comes from the Latin ruber (red).
