Shadow, I'm not sure you know how crystals are classified into the different "kinds".

The only things that matter are the shape, resistance, and shinyness. Saphires and Rubies don't share the same level of shinyness, nor usual shape. As such, yes, there can be "blue Rubies" which are not Saphires, and "Red saphires" which are not Rubies.

Saying Rubies=Red Saphires is just bullshit, a lie, though their value is not too different, and as such they may have informally gotten that nickname, which wouldn't surprise me.
