Untreated Burmese Ruby in Pigeon Blood Red

In June 2024, a truly remarkable Burmese ruby with the coveted colour quality “pigeon blood red” was auctioned off at Rapp Auctions. Weighing in at 5.02 carats, boasting intense brilliance and untreated quality, this gemstone captured international attention. Its origin from the legendary Mogok mines in Myanmar makes it a rarity of immeasurable value and a true treasure. Pigeon blood red Burmese rubies are among the most sought-after gemstones globally. Their deep, vibrant red, tinged with a hint of blue, is both unique and distinctive. What makes this ruby particularly impressive is that it was completely untreated – a pure gift from Nature. Such pristine, unspoiled stones are exceedingly rare and highly coveted by collectors and investors alike.
