balas ruby
A Balas Ruby is a type of red spinel gemstone that was originally known as "Balascia Ruby". It was named after the Badakhshan region in Afghanistan, once the main source of these gems. In ancient times, before the discovery of actual rubies, the term "ruby" was used to describe any red gemstone, including the red spinel. Therefore, despite being called a 'ruby', it is not actually a ruby but a spinel.
Webster Dictionary
Balas ruby
