What two gemstones is Myanmar famous for producing?

Myanmar is famous for producing high-quality rubies and jadeite. Rubies from Myanmar are known for their intense red color and excellent clarity, while Myanmar jadeite is highly valued for its vibrant green color and translucency.


How synthetic rubies differ from natural rubies?

Synthetic rubies are created in a lab using similar chemical components as natural rubies, but they are made under controlled conditions and typically have fewer inclusions. This often results in a more uniform color and higher clarity compared to natural rubies. Additionally, natural rubies are formed in the earth's crust over millions of years, while synthetic rubies are created in a matter of weeks.


Are cut or uncut rubies worth more?

Uncut rubies are generally worth less than cut rubies because the cutting process adds value by enhancing their brilliance and color. Cut rubies are also easier to set into jewelry and more desirable to consumers for their finished appearance.


Where are rubies mined?

Rubies are mined in countries such as Myanmar, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Madagascar. Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, produces some of the finest rubies in the world, particularly from the famous Mogok region.


Why are rubies semi-precious?
