About Burmese Ruby – The Stone of Nobility and Energy

Ruby is a variety of corundum mineral composed primarily of aluminium oxide, colored red by trace amounts of chromium. Burmese Rubies stand out for their intense red color with a slight hint of blue, creating a vivid and velvety appearance that commands attention.

The hardness of ruby (9 on the Mohs scale) makes it a durable gemstone suitable for everyday wear. This combination of beauty, strength, and rarity has established the Burmese Ruby as a symbol of nobility, power, and protection.

Origin of Burmese Ruby – Where Does It Come From?

Myanmar’s Mogok Valley is famously known as the “Valley of Rubies,” producing some of the world’s most exceptional rubies for centuries. Other ruby sources include:

  • Myanmar (Burma): The most prestigious source known for the iconic pigeon blood red rubies with extraordinary clarity and brilliance.
  • Thailand: Produces darker rubies with brownish hues, often used in jewelry.
  • Sri Lanka: Known for lighter pinkish rubies and pink sapphires.
  • Madagascar: Emerging source with fine rubies comparable to Burmese stones.
  • Mozambique: Known for large rubies with deep red color, increasingly popular in the market.

At ShivRaj Ratna, we prioritize authentic Burmese Rubies for their unmatched color intensity and astrological potency.
