1. Source: Rubies have been mined in various regions of Afghanistan, including the Jegdalek Ruby Mine in the Jegdalek area of the Sorobi District in Kabul Province. Other areas in Afghanistan, such as the Panjshir Valley, have also been known for ruby deposits.

2. Color and Quality: Afghan rubies can vary in color from pinkish-red to deep red, and their quality can vary as well. The most valuable Afghan rubies are those with a pure, vivid red color and high clarity.
