Ruby the divine gem of the Sun is now out of the reach for those on a budget.  For a ruby to be classified as Jyotish Quality:

-          The Ruby should be fully natural. No trace elements, no filling, no composites at all.

-          The Ruby should have a clarity level of 85%+

World over the Burma Ruby has always enjoyed a premium position because of its rarity, alluring color and the mythical legends attached to it. Well rarity and this rubies definitely attractive quality led to huge demand and because of low supply it led to:

-          High Price with the best to be afforded only to real gem lovers, connoisseurs and investment managers.

-          Mass production and subsequent enhancement measures such as glass filling. ( These have no use in Jyotish).

Well this year the price has doubled in just 6 months. For the last years report on Rubies please click here.

Premium quality Burma ruby that is fully natural and in the range of 2+ carats with good clarity levels is trading at $10,000 per carat provided one buys the whole lot. This is a B2B price.

It comes with the rider that you need to buy all the Rubies in the lot to get a price of $10,000 per carat and this price is negotiated by the best of professionals in business.

The Good News:

A mine in Madagascar is producing fine quality Rubies which are scarlet red( Yes beautiful scarlet red with no heat) with a tint of purple which is quite close to the Imperial Pigeon Blood color. To know more about the Imperial pigeon blood color please click here.

Similarly a mine in Mozambique is producing fine rubies with gorgeous transparency with no enhancing treatment and these are available if you search hard enough. Both of these rubies are available at a fraction of a price.

Gemstoneuniverse has acquired two beautiful lots of both of them and these will be made available to you shortly.

 

The maybe bad news:

Both Madagascar and Mozambique Rubies that are treatment free are going the same way as fine Burmese Rubies when it comes to the price. Unless both these mines produce fine quality rubies in abundance the price will be stable but it’s a big IF. No one can give accurate supply projections as of now but whether you are a fan of planetary Gemmology or an investor or a wealth manager grab them now before its too late.

We just hope that in next 6 months they don’t go the same way as the Burma Rubies.

And a delightful News and a tip

There is a small lot of Burma ruby too, which you are going to love. Take smaller beautiful fully natural Burma Rubies and mix and match using creativity to make 3 stone or 4 stone rings in case you want to make up the weight.
