Ruby Quality

Ruby is special because of its strong red colour, which is rare among gemstones. Chromium is the trace element causing the fine red colour in Rubies. One of the most preferred color shades of the Ruby is the Imperial Pigeon Blood Red Colour however other tones of pleasing red are also in demand. Sri Lankan Rubies have more pinking shade as compared red. Ruby with Pinkish and Brownish tones are less expensive than Pure Red Ruby gemstones. The Transparency of a gem-quality Ruby may vary from Transparent to Translucent. Opaque Rubies are considered as low on the quality scale and are generally at the bottom of the Gem Pyramid discarded stones not apt for Jyotish or results and generally available at non standardized commercial shops.

Ruby Price

Origin- Currently, Africa especially Mozambique is the major source of fine quality untreated Rubies. Small quantities of Rubies are also mined in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Cambodia, and parts of Australia, Brazil, Colombia, India, Namibia, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Tanzania.

Fine Quality Burmese Rubies are the rarest and most precious rubies available currently. The supply of Burmese rubies is very rare. Gemstones coming from the famed Mogok Area/ Mogok Rubies in Burma are highly valued and sought after.

Rubies from the heart of Africa especially Mozambique today are the finest Rubies available in the market. African Rubies are most popular as they are more economical than the Burmese rubies. Thailand produces mostly treated Rubies. Rubies from Thailand especially Chanthaburi Rubies are mostly heat-treated and glass-filled rubies. Thailand Rubies are also called Bangkok Rubies because most of the treatment centres are situated in Bangkok where the rubies are treated for enhancing their appearance. Bangkok Rubies are given the trade name in correct Gemological terms referred to as “Misnomer”- 'New Burmese Ruby' to mislead the customers into believing that they are Burmese rubies.

Color- Ruby is appreciated for its royal red colour. Rubies may also exhibit a range of secondary colours, including orange, purple, violet, and pink. The most desirable colour of Ruby is compared to Pigeon's Blood Red Colour.

Clarity- Unlike Sapphires, Rubies are known for having many inclusions. Therefore most of the commercially traded Rubies are Translucent to Opaque-These have no value for Astrology or Jyotish and should be avoided as per the Garuda Purana and the Agni Purana. Transparent Rubies are very rare and command a premium price. Transparency may cause the colour to look lighter and pinkish.

Carat- Carat is the measure of Weight. Big Sized Gemstones are rarer than the small ones. Therefore, Price per Carat is Higher for bigger Weights than the small weights of similar quality.

Cut- Rubies are cut in all kinds of shapes. This is because Ruby is widely used in Jewellery. Ruby is mostly available in Oval mixed or Octagonal-Step cuts. Oval Shape is the most popular and widely available.

Cost- Ruby stone prices in India can range between ₹ 1000 to 2 Lacs per carat and above. Unheated Burmese ruby of fine quality is expensive because of its limited availability and exceptional quality. Premium Unheated Rubies from Mozambique are a better option but today these also command a high price. Please refer to market economics of the Ruby discussed above for real time market trends of the Ruby,

Treatment- The Most common treatments for enhancing the appearance of a Junk Quality Ruby are heat treatment and lead glass filling. Ruby is given a heat treatment so as to intensify the colour as well as to remove the inclusions and thus increase the clarity. The Surface reaching cracks are also filled with High-Density Lead Glass using Glass-Filling Techniques. Heat Treatment and Glass-Filling Treatments are so common that 90% Rubies found in Market are treated ones only. Treated Rubies should be avoided for Astrological usage. Rubies are also colour treated using Dyes to enhance its colour.
