I suppose it could be theoretically possible to smelt out the impurities, add different ones in, and then recrystallize the new solution. But it would be insanely complex and far from cost effective.
Now I am no metallurgical engineer, chemist, or anyone else who is an expert on this subject, but I imagine that by carefully adjusting the heat you could skim off either the impurities or the core crystalline material. Then mix in the new impurities and when combined with extreme heat and pressure...
Edit: quick wikipedia hunt later: Rubies and sapphires are both Al2O3 with rubies simply being a special class... So changing the color of a sapphire/ruby could be possible... Emerald on the other hand is completely different.

Hehe..player tears. Actually some thoughts about world gen. Now I figure the maker of MineChem isn't on these boards but I believe it would be nice to have Minechem or a similar mod be the answer to world gen. Example of xycordite: Have blank xycor, put it in some kind of machine that needs liquid dye to work. Changes excess ore into the color needed, heck as far as we know Soaryn is doing this.
Minechem came ot mind because it is kinda like EE except with chemistry. So take one substance. say ruby, and change it into an equivalent substance, say sapphire. I know it doesn't do this so just random idea.

You really gives a shit if it's the same as real life? This is a game, after all.
If it was a simulation of real life then I want a two foot by two foot hole in the roube filled with water to be infinite.
For those of you who want Minecraft to resemble real life more.
And then please get off this thread.
Well thing about TFC that is still unrealistic is for the thirst meter all you have to do is find a body of water and wade in.
Wait.... you're telling me that I can't quench my thirst through osmosis!?
Admittedly, forgot the quartz. Still, 5 vs. 7 is still close. Also, I was thinking ores, not extras. Otherwise I would've counted IC2 trees too.
When I first said that, I was lumping in the nether and end world gen as well. By itself, GregTech adds 12 ores to world gen, 5 of which are overworld.
And I didn't move the goalpost. Gregtech requires copper, tin,and uranium gen to function, so you have to count those. So 8 overworld gen, 7 other dimension gen. 15 ores added overall to world generation.
But this is a topic for another thread! Back to: Yay signs of life for future RP2 updates!
I was talking more from a chemical reference. Sapphire is the catch-all term for the Corundums. Ruby is an Aluminum Oxide crystal with chromium impurities that turn it red. Padparadscha also contains Chromium impurities, but is lighter in color. Everything else, including no impurities at all, is a Sapphire. So, when not talking from a purely aesthetic point of view: A ruby is a sapphire. It's just like a green sapphire and blue sapphire are still both sapphires. I then even went on to specifically say that the true blanket term is "Corundum", which includes both sapphires and rubies, as well as Padparadscha.
Also, yes; reprocessing a ruby into a sapphire or vice versa would almost surely be far more difficult and inefficient compared to just making one or the other from scratch. That was not the point of the post though. I was simply pointing out that it should be entirely possible to do, if someone really wanted to.
As for the derailment of this thread: As mentioned, it's very common in RP2 threads. News comes about in short bursts, then nothing for an extended period of time. However, RP2 draws in a large number of people looking for every scrap of information they can find. Put the 2 together, and you naturally get a sudden burst of posting, with very little to discuss. This will naturally drift away from the original subject, because that subject has already been discussed.
Should some of this be in a new topic? Perhaps. However, in this case, it really does no harm to just let it be either. The derailment doesn't prevent the discussion of actual RP2 news, it is simply a filler between said news. You can be sure that as soon as something new appears, it will be the primary focus again. Then the cycle will repeat, unless something changes, such as Elo talking more, or stopping altogether.
All this, by the way, is why truly wealthy people wear rubies as jewelry. They're insanely hard to make and only occur in a few places in the world. Diamonds: not so much.
Well, they wear natural rubies, and not because they are hard to make. They're actually relatively easy. Rubies are simply the rarest of the natural gemstones, and it is possible to identify artificial ones. I saw artificial rubies earlier for just $45 a carat. That's really cheap. However, those are industrial artificial rubies.
People are rather stupid. We can make absolutely perfect rubies and sapphires, but because they are artificial they are worth less. <rolls eyes> Same with diamonds for that matter. Also, diamond is a whole other story of stupid, because they are so much more common. However, there has been an artificial shortage thanks to a near monopoly for a long time now, causing a giant leap in value. Add in the worlds most successful advertising campaign in history, "A diamond is forever." ( which it isn't. Diamonds are actually quite fragile. ) and you have a gigantic leap in price. <sigh>
Interestingly: Diamonds are the harder ones to make due to the immense pressures required. Still, we've got it down well enough that you can now have your body cremated and crushed into a diamond these days.
And with that said, I wonder who has actually paid to have their corpse into someone's future engagement ring.

May 20th RP2PR5B2 is released for MC 1.2.5
Eloraam @TheRealEloraam Aug 1st 2012
"Before anyone asks, I will be porting RP to 1.3."
Eloraam @TheRealEloraam Oct 28th 2012
"All development of RP has been moved to 1.4.2 as of yesterday, and it works as well as the 1.3.2 port did. Some bugs left to squish."
Eloraam @TheRealEloraam Nov 17th 2012
"It feels weird to update to a version that's not released yet, but I just moved RP development to 1.4.5. Getting down to the last few bugs."
Eloraam @TheRealEloraam Dec 20th 2012
"I'm going to give it a couple days to see if other mods follow for 1.4.6, but I have a working 1.4.5 version that I could package up."
December 21st RP2PR6 is released for MC 1.4.6
Yeah those goalposts are moving. Seriously try to remain internally consistent.
Anyhow apparently RP2 is, in fact, alive. Now we can make frame things in peace.
right have you EVER in your life not done something you said you were going to do? Not maliciously, you may have had full intentions but just couldn't come through. Yes? That's great, it's normal, shit happens. Same thing happened to Elo then. No reason to assume it will happen again, and if it does, it doesn't mean jack shit in relation to what you just posted.
I've heard it's trivial to manufacture non-jewelry-quality purple rubes, but the clearer reds are much more difficult to synthesize because of a bunch of factors I don't really understand. Is this incorrect? I've never seen an example of one, and I did look around quite a bit. My wife has a bit of a weakness for them; the wedding ring I gave her was a ruby ring and I, uh, can't exactly follow that up very often without breaking the bank.
