What's the difference between a ruby, an emerald, and a diamond?

Asked by HungryGuy (16039points) May 28th, 2011

When I google for the difference between these types of gemstones, every hit is about Pokemon. Are rubies and emeralds just diamonds with red or green pigments? Or are they each different types of stones entirely?
