Rubies are a rich, red gemstone that is part of the corundum family, which also includes sapphires. The name "ruby" comes from the Latin word "ruber," which means "red." Rubies are found in various locations, namely Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Thailand, and Madagascar. They are prized for their intense red color, which is caused by the presence of chromium in the crystal structure. Burma rubies are particularly valued for their exceptional color and transparency, and they are often considered the finest rubies in the world. The "pigeon blood" color is a trade term used to describe the most desirable color for a Burma ruby, which is a deep, vivid red with a slightly bluish tone. Pigeon blood rubies are highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, and they can command some of the highest prices for any gemstone. In addition to their beauty, rubies are said to have healing properties, such as the ability to promote vitality, confidence, and courage.
