Rubi be touched with modern taste

Ruby stone be touched with modern taste
Rubies are mined in Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Kenya, Madagascar, and Cambodia, but they have also been found in the U.S. states, in Montana, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Mogok Valley in Upper Myanmar has produced some of the finest rubies, but in recent years very few good rubies have been found there. The unique color in Myanmar (Burmese) rubies is described as "pigeon’s blood". They are known in the trade as “Mogok” rubies. In central Myanmar the area of Mong Hsu also produces rubies. The latest ruby deposit to be found in Myanmar is situated in Nam Ya. In 2002 rubies were found in the Waseges River area of Kenya. Sometimes spinels are found along with rubies in the same rocks and are mistaken for rubies. However, fine red spinels may approach the average ruby in value.[1]



By the way, its good too for future invesment
The value of natural rubies varies depending on their size, cut, origin, clarity and quality. As of 2000, a gem quality, uncut one carat (0.2 g) ruby cost about $4,200 USD.[2] As of 2008, an average quality, certified, untreated 1 carat (0.2 g) ruby cost between $800 to $3,500 USD.[3] Since it is easy to spot synthetic rubies by their lack of natural inclusions, they have not greatly affected the price of natural rubies.[4] Synthetic rubies are much less valuable.
