Rubies and sapphires are actually the same material, the different color coming from the inclusion of different elements in the mineral corundum. Ruby is colored red by deposits of chromium and iron. It is often heat-treated to improve its color and clarity, and has been the most valued gemstone throughout history.

Color is the most important characteristic of a ruby, with a brilliant, deep red being the most valued color.
