About the ruby:
Undisputedly the most expensive colored gemstones in the world are untreated Burmese rubies, preferably in the color pigeon blood red (pure red with a slight blue tinge), but due to the low occurrence, untreated Mozambique rubies are also very rare and expensive as investment gemstones.
In Latin, "rubens" stands for red, from which the name ruby originated.
Mineralogically the ruby belongs to the corundum with a Mos hardness of 9 (very hard, comes directly after the diamond) and a high light refraction of 1,76
