Ruby:

It belongs to the corundum family, and its color is due to chromium inclusions; in brownish tones, it is iron. In ancient European and Hindu cultures, the ruby ​​was unanimously considered the stone of the sun. It represents vital force, inner fire, love, and passion. The most prized color is pigeon's blood, a pure red with a subtle bluish tint.

Emerald:

The green color comes from a mixture of other minerals, including chromium, vanadium, and iron, which gives it a bluish tint. In natural light, the true essence of emeralds is easier to discern, while artificial light can expose internal fractures in the stone caused by the glare. In ancient European and Indian cultures, the emerald was associated with Mercury, the messenger of the gods and the god of journeys, sleep, and dreams, and was therefore considered the stone of divine inspiration.

In antiquity, and to some extent even into the Middle Ages, the term sapphire was generally understood to refer to what is now known as lapis lazuli.
