It is often associated with emerald, sapphire and topaz.[1] It is usually red, but can sometimes be other colors.[1] It is formed of aluminum and oxygen (Al2O3),[1] and that means it's a kind of corundum. A small amount of chromium makes the color. They are the most popular red gemstone, and is aften linked with the birthmonth of July.
