Why?
cause the name ruby makes it into a unique name for this kind of jewelry & makes it more valueable with its unique name
Because that doesn’t make sense. Sapphires are blue. They are both corundums.
You can ask why don’t they just call a ruby a red corundum.
Why don’t they call a sapphire a blue corundum
From the Geology website:
“Red corundums are known as “rubies,” blue corundums are known as “sapphires,” and corundums of any other color are known as “fancy sapphires.””
You’re a fancy sapphire
All of you are fancy sapphires
Ruby can be short for Reuven, and I think that Reuven’s stone in the Choshen Mishkan may have been a ruby (Odem in Lashon Hakodesh).
My friend told me that her niece was named after a Ruby/Reuven, so they named her Odem.
