Weight:(3.55)CT

Stone:(Ruby)

Origin:(Afghanistan)

Pigeon blood ruby is a term used to describe a particularly vibrant and intense shade of red, often associated with high-quality rubies. The color is said to resemble the deep red of a pigeon’s blood, with a slightly bluish undertone, making it one of the most coveted hues for rubies in the gemstone market.

While the best-known sources of pigeon blood rubies are Burma (Myanmar), rubies from Afghanistan have also gained attention in recent years. Afghanistan, especially the Panjshir Valley, is known for producing rubies with excellent color and clarity, though the rubies here are generally not as famous as those from Myanmar. However, Afghan rubies, particularly those with the rich, deep red color characteristic of pigeon blood rubies, are highly prized in the gemstone market.

Afghan rubies, like others, are typically cut to enhance their color and clarity, and when they possess the ideal hue of pigeon blood, they can be quite valuable. However, rubies from Afghanistan are less abundant compared to those from Myanmar, making them relatively rarer on the market. The country’s rubies are often characterized by their clarity and vibrant color, making them an attractive choice for collectors and jewelers alike.
