Discovery of Disulfane (H<sub>2</sub>S<sub>2</sub>) in Fluid Inclusions in Rubies from Yuanjiang, China, and Its Implications

Raman spectra of fluid inclusions in gem rubies from Yuanjiang deposit (China) within the Ailao Shan-Red River (ASRR) metamorphic belt showed the presence of compounds such as CO<sub>2</sub>, COS, CH<sub>4</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>S, and elemental sulfur (S<sub>8...
