What do real rubies feel like?

Real rubies have a smooth and polished surface, giving them a cool touch when held. They typically exhibit a moderate weight, feeling denser than glass but lighter than some other gemstones. When rubbed against a surface, genuine rubies may produce slight friction, and their hardness (9 on the Mohs scale) makes them resistant to scratches. Additionally, real rubies can have inclusions or slight imperfections, which can be felt upon close inspection.
