Why are Burmese Rubies So Popular?
Burmese Rubies are known for their quality, low overtone, vivid red color, and other exceptional features. The dark red color of this ruby is compared to the blood of a Pigeon, and this is why people call Burmese rubies Pigeon’s Blood rubies. It was the year 1829 when the term Pigeon Blood was first used to define the magnificent beauty of Burmese rubies. These rubies were sourced from the mines of Mogok. The reason why, Burmese rubies are also known as Mogok rubies.
It is the Mogok mine, the ‘Valley of Rubies’ that has been highly popular worldwide for producing the finest and largest pigeon blood rubies for eras.
Why are Burmese Rubies Expensive Compared to Other Rubies?
The mining of Burmese rubies is not sufficient, and there are several factors behind it. Let us have a look,
-
The political upheavals have been started in Myanmar since 2021 as the military has seized power. This issue induced the illegal mining of Burmese rubies as well as other political issues that prevented the mining and caused a drop in the supply of Burmese rubies worldwide.
-
Myanmar does not follow modern technology, procedures, and equipment to mine rubies. They still count on age-old techniques. This is another reason that the mining and supply of Mogok rubies are hampered.
Lastly, the insufficiency and adversity of Burmese ruby mining work adversely on the Burma ruby stone price.
Less Known Facts on Burmese Rubies
- Premium quality Burma rubies are only mined from the Mogok mine, and they are only 5% of the whole Burmese rubies. Mogok rubies are untreated and they have high chromium and very low iron. The reason why they have a vivid red color and are tagged as Pigeon’s blood red.
- Whereas, Burmese rubies from Mong Hsu mines are 95% of the total production of Burma-sourced rubies. They are generally heat-treated and have purple overtone due to the blue color zone (found in Mong Hsu mine areas).
- However, the beauty of Pigeon’s Blood Burmese rubies somehow can be compared to Mozambique rubies. Yet, Mozambique rubies are weaker in fluorescence compared to those beautiful Burmese rubies.
- For the last few years, Mozambique rubies have taken the place of Burmese rubies for many reasons including the availability, color grade, and large sizes (5 to 10 carats and above). But, most of the Mozambique rubies are treated and Mogok aka Burmese rubies are untreated and truly natural.
