Precious scarlet stone
Ruby is a deep red precious gemstone, a variety of corundum valued for its color and hardness.
The finest rubies rival diamonds in price.
Ruby also names the color itself—a rich, vivid red: ruby lips, ruby wine.
In printing, ruby is a small type size (5.5 points).
In British slang, a ruby is a curry, from rhyming slang "ruby Murray." (Capitalized Ruby is a given name or programming language.)
