RUBY

Ruby is one of the four major gemstones in the world, and its color "Pigeon Blood" and "origin" are important
indicators when evaluating ruby for investment and collection purposes. Only the topmost color can be called
"Pigeon Blood". Burma (Myanmar) is the main source of the highest quality rubies in the world ever in history, and
Mozambique has also become an influential production area in recent years. Rubies which have no indication
of heating refer to natural rubies without heating enhancement, for those with bright and intense color certified
by internationally renowned laboratory as "no indication of heating" and "Pigeon Blood" are extremely rare. In
recent years, the production of natural gemstones has dropped significantly. With the depletion of resources and
geographical tensions, the extraordinary pieces of rubies are hardly seen.

紅寶石

紅寶石是為世界四大寶石之一，其顏色「鴿血紅 Pigeon Blood」 及 「產地」為評價紅寶石投資及收藏的
重要指標。僅有最頂級的顏色可被譽為“鴿血紅”色。緬甸是有史以來世界上最優質紅寶石的產地，近年
來莫桑比克也成為紅寶石產地的一枝獨秀。無燒紅寶石是指未經過加熱的純天然紅寶石，而顏色明艷濃烈
又經國際知名實驗室證書認證的「無燒」、「鴿血紅 Pigeon Blood」級別的紅寶石相當罕有。近年天然寶
石產量有限，隨著礦源枯竭、地緣關係緊張，使現今產出的高級絕色的無燒紅寶石寥如晨星般稀有。
