Ruby has a hardness of 9/10 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamond), high transparency, high durability, good scratch resistance, and exceptional beauty. It is considered a symbol of love, power, luck, and success in feng shui. Ruby comes in various colors, from bright red to pink to dark red, with Pigeon Blood Red being considered the most beautiful and valuable.
