Pigeon’s Blood Ruby or Pink Ruby or Fuchsia Ruby? (Understanding Different Colors of Ruby)

1.7k Views 36 Comments



We see in video that what are different classifications of ruby colors, such as pinkish red, purplish red, orangish red, red and pigeon’s blood ruby. We see the general differences in Burma ruby color and Mozambique ruby color and how fluorescence affects their color. We also see the difference between a pink sapphire and a pinkish red ruby.

This video is not a replacement for laboratory grading, but just to give you an idea of what ruby colors are there and how to preliminary judge the ruby color. The Mozambique ruby and Burma ruby color is just a generalization and not a 100% definite categorization as some of the colors and properties do overlap. We have seen some Mozambique rubies that at first look we thought was a Burma ruby and vice versa.

All rubies in the video at the time of recording are owned by Gandhi Enterprises Co., Ltd.

  5. တွင်ထွက်ကျောက်မြက်ရတနာများလှပသောသင်၏ဗီဒီယိုမဝေပေးလိုက်သည်

  14. A Burma sells the gemstone like a potatoes per kilogram and when it out talking a hundreds of thousands in dollars in compared to a less dollar per carat itself. What a poor miners and people. Only rich people are the private individuals, makes a messy country in general

  22. I have an unheated 1.47ct ruby from Tanzania(Winza). The color is a little orangish red. The brilliance is incredible.
    I bought it 13years ago at web. auction at only 50US$. It's very cheap for its quality. If possible I would like to send its photo to you
    to let you see the stone.

  28. 片頭的紅寶屬于平光 或者是常說的死光，
    是泰國紅寶的特色
    台灣很多人都受騙
    買藍寶回台灣則過黑
    造成了 槌心肝的狀況 真是好爽的幸災樂禍

  30. Thank you so much for sharing this very helpful video! I’m looking for a ruby ring/stone and currently deciding between two GRS certified pigeon blood Burmese rubies with very similar specs (but each unique in their appearance and characteristics). Would you be able to take a look and shed any light on which is better/your views? Thank you so much!

  32. These rings are absolutely gorgeous! For an engagement ring, would you consider a pigeon's blood or a purplish ruby? Both are 100% natural and untreated. Your suggestion would help us greatly in the selection process!
