Ruby gemstone is one of the most prized gemstones and the rarest on the market. Long
considered the King of the Ruby, Burmese rubies are still considered the most beautiful
production of beautiful crystal clear red ruby stone. Burmese ruby gemstone has an
almost mystical appeal to them. Burma rubies are prized for their beauty, durability, and
rarity; it is the quality of the color which most determines the value of rubies.
Introduction
5 Important
Facts About
Burmese Ruby
Gemstones
The color of Burmese Ruby stones depends
on two factors
The finest Burmese ruby stone possesses a red to slightly purplish red hue, with vivid
saturation and medium dark tone. The first factor is a combination of the slightly bluish-red
body color of the gemstone and the “purer” red fluorescent emission, which work together to
give the gemstone its high-intensity color.
Burmese Rubies are much younger than the
those from East Africa
During certain times in history, the tectonic movement has resulted in large-scale
shifts in the Earth’s surface, resulting in the mineral formation and creating regions
called organic belts. A lot of the finest ruby mines fall into such zones, according to
Hughes’ book. The Pan-African orogeny happened about 750 to 450 million years
ago, the result of which created gem deposits in Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique,
Madagascar, Sri Lanka and southern India.
Burma Ruby gemstones are not leading the high
amount of fine quality Rubies
Burma Ruby has always been strong with mining records from Burma dating back
almost 500 years.The best gemstones come from alluvial deposits because millions of
years of weathering naturally remove the impure cracked portions, which leaves behind
the purest part of the ruby. No doubt, the Burmese rubies were being exported to other
countries but “supply was still not meeting that high demand.”
Burmese rubies can be compared to fine rubies
from Mozambique
While there are a lot of great rubies coming from other sources also. It was the
discovery of the fine stones from Mozambique in the late 2000s that made a
great splash in the gemstone world, especially given the ban on Burmese
material. According to gemologist Richard Wise’s “Secrets of the Gem Trade, a
presence of iron gives many other sources a slightly brownish hue, the material
from Mozambique varies in iron content, so its rubies can have a fluorescence
and color hues in similar to the classic colors of Burmese rubies.
The conflict surrounding Burmese rubies
has decreased
The U.S. government specifically targeted the import of gemstones with the Tom Lantos
Block Burmese JADE (Junta’s Anti-Democratic Efforts) Act of 2008, noting the human
rights violations of the ruling regime and how it was evading sanctions by concealing
gemstone origins to continue their export to the U.S.
