Ruby righteously symbolizes passion and love. The ancient Hindus call this precious gem ‘Rajnapura’ which means ‘King of Gems.’ It has always been one of the most costly gemstones stones throughout history. Ruby is a type of mineral which falls under the category of Corundum, the next hardest mineral following the diamond. Needless to say, the bigger a ruby is, the more expensive, as it rarely develops in big sizes of significant quality. It can exude different color ranges from orange red to those with a purplish red shade. The most preferred ruby is the one with a true red color or ‘pigeon blood red’ as it is known in the gem trade. Excellent qualities of rubies can be found in the countries of Burma, Mozambique, Madagascar and Thailand. Besides color, Ruby is a most desirable gem due to its hardness, durability, luster, and rarity. Transparent rubies of large sizes are even rarer than diamonds. Transparent, flawless rubies exceed all other gems in value (except for deeply colored “fancy diamonds”). Rubies must be transparent to possess a very high gem value. Sapphire the other gem variety of corundum, encompasses all colors of corundum aside from red. Ruby from Burma is famous for its exceptional coloring. Rubies can be heat-treated to improve color. Heat-treating a ruby can also increase its transparency by removing tiny internal flaws. Fissure filling also improves clarity and is a good value alternative for Rubies that look good.
