 Gemstone Facts

 
Ruby is a gemstone in the Corundum family. It exhibits a range of red colors, and the most desired color is pigeon’s blood (pure red with a hint of blue).
The finest rubies in the world are hidden in the remote valley of Mogok in Upper Burma, between India and China. In the middle of this tiny village, stands the Panchan-htar-pwe buying district, the epicenter of the world market on rubies. Buyers come looking for “pigeon blood red rubies,” revered by the market as the very best.
