Both are corundum — one of the hardest minerals on earth — but where trace iron and titanium turn corundum blue, a trace of chromium turns it the deep, saturated red that's made ruby one of the most prized gemstones in history. In Sanskrit it was called \u003cem\u003eratnaraj\u003c\/em\u003e, \"king of precious stones,\" and it shows up four separate times in the Bible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eIts reputation for \u003cstrong\u003ecourage\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't just poetic — it's historical, and honestly a little intense. According to GIA's own gemological records, warriors in ancient Burma (modern-day Myanmar, a ruby source since roughly 600 AD) didn't just carry rubies into battle — they inserted them into their own flesh, believing the stone had to become part of the body to grant real protection and invincibility.
