Rubies from Afghanistan, particularly from the Jegdalek region east of Kabul, are admired for their rich red hues and natural beauty. These rubies often show a vivid to deep red color, sometimes with a hint of pink or purple depending on trace elements in the crystal. Their tones range from medium to dark, and the finest examples exhibit a glowing, almost “pigeon blood” quality.
Typical features include:
Color: Intense red, occasionally with pinkish or purplish undertones.
Clarity: Many Afghan rubies contain natural inclusions, which are considered part of their character and help distinguish them from synthetics.
Cut: Stones are often fashioned into ovals, cushions, or step-cuts to maximize color and weight.
Origin significance: Afghanistan’s ruby deposits have been known for centuries, and the Jegdalek mines are historically important sources of fine corundum.
Appeal
An Afghan ruby combines the allure of vibrant color with the mystique of a rare origin. Collectors and jewelers alike value these stones for their unique glow, natural charm, and historical provenance.

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.
