pigeon blood red rubies
Ruby Gemstones The Color of Love, Passion, Beauty Which color would you automatically associate with love, passion and power? Of course it's Red. Red is the color of love. It radiates warmth and strength. And red is also the color of the ruby, called the king of gemstones.
Rubies are light pink to blood red in color. The brightest and best red in ruby colors is called Pigeon Blood Red.
The red of the ruby is unequaled in warmth and fire. Ruby red is not just any old color, it is a sensual, passionate, powerful color. The ruby is the perfect way to express powerful feelings. Jewelry with a precious rubies attests to that passionate, intense love that people can feel for each other. Rubies are the red members of the corundum family of minerals. Corundum of any other color--blue, pink, yellow, and many others--is called sapphire. The ruby has everything a precious stone should have: magnificent color, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. Also, it is an extremely rare gemstone, especially the finer quality rubies. The ruby is considered one of the four precious stones: Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald and Diamond. In the wonderful world of gemstones, the ruby is the undisputed leader. For thousands of years, the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones on Earth. Rubies have a hardness of 9.0 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness and only the diamond is harder.
All natural rubies have imperfections in them, including color impurities and inclusions of rutile needles known as "silk". Gemologists use these needle inclusions found in natural rubies to distinguish them from synthetics, simulants, or substitutes. Almost all rubies today are treated in some form, improving the quality of gemstones by treating them is common practice. Some treatments are used in almost all cases and are therefore considered "acceptable" practices. The most common treatment is using heat. 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 of Montana, North Carolina and South Carolina. True pigeon's-blood red is extremely rare, more a color of the mind than the material world. One Burmese trader expressed it best when he said:
"asking to see the pigeon's blood is like asking to see the face of God." To read about ruby lore, history and legends and to see beautiful rubies and jewelry Click Here |
