It belongs to the hexagonal (trigonal) crystal system and forms in various crystal habits, including prismatic, tabular, bipyramidal, or rhombohedral. Ruby can also occur in granular or massive forms. Prior to 1800, red spinels and garnets were often mistaken for rubies until the distinction was made. The vibrant red color of rubies is attributed to the presence of chromium. Some rubies may exhibit asterism, a star-like phenomenon caused by inclusions of titanium oxide that diffract light, creating a six-pointed star effect. Ruby deposits can be found in Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, India, Brazil, and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpiritual:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRuby is highly regarded for its spiritual significance and associations with vitality, passion, and courage.
