0.75CT High Quality Natural Pinkish Kashmir Ruby
Weight:(0.75)CT
Stone:(Ruby)
Origin:(Kashmir)
Kashmir rubies are an intriguing topic, but there's a key clarification needed:
> There is no known, historically documented ruby source in Kashmir (India or Pakistan) equivalent to the fame of Kashmir sapphires.
However, let’s break this down based on possibilities:
---
### 1. Are There Actual “Kashmir Rubies”?
* No major ruby mines have been documented in Kashmir like the iconic Kashmir sapphire mines (discovered in the late 1800s).
* If someone markets a “Kashmir ruby,” it’s either:
* Mislabeling to increase the stone's perceived value.
A ruby *traded through Kashmir** or mined nearby, possibly in northern Pakistan or Afghanistan, and marketed as Kashmiri.
A *synthetic or treated ruby** with a misleading origin claim.
---
### 2. Where Do the Finest Rubies Actually Come From?
| Origin | Features |
| -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Myanmar (Burma) | Deep “pigeon blood” red, top global quality, Mogok mines are legendary |
| Mozambique | Excellent color, increasing global dominance |
| Thailand/Cambodia | Darker red stones, often heat-treated |
| Afghanistan/Pakistan (Jagdalek, Hunza, Gilgit) | Some ruby deposits exist but are small-scale |
---
### 3. How to Verify a Ruby’s Origin
* Gemological testing is essential:
Labs like *GIA**, GRS, SSEF, or AGL can determine ruby origin using:
* Inclusions
* Trace elements
* UV/IR spectroscopy
Any “Kashmir ruby” claim *should be viewed skeptically** unless confirmed by a respected lab.
---
### Summary
*No proven Kashmir ruby deposit** exists (unlike Kashmir sapphires).
High-quality rubies come from *Burma (Myanmar)** and Mozambique.
* Be cautious with sellers marketing “Kashmir rubies” without lab certification.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
