The red color of rubies is primarily due to the presence of chromium impurities in the crystal structure of the mineral corundum, which is the mineralogical name for rubies and sapphires. Chromium atoms replace some of the aluminum atoms in the crystal lattice of corundum, and this substitution causes the absorption of certain wavelengths of light, resulting in the red coloration that is characteristic of rubies. The intensity and shade of red can vary depending on the specific chemical composition and structural arrangement of the ruby crystal.
