A Short History of Ruby Loose Gemstones
Rubies are members of the corundum family of gemstones, like the sapphire. The fine red ruby has always been highly sought after amongst the family of precious gems. The traditional source for fine gem rubies has been primarily Burma, or Myanmar as it is called today, in the Mogok Valley region. However, the Mong Hsu area has been a more recent source for loose ruby gemstones. Kenya is another important source for rubies when it comes to African rubies.

How To Buy Ruby Loose Gemstones
When buying loose gemstones the finest faceted ruby gems should display a bright crimson red color - not too dark or too light. If the ruby has too much of a pinkish or purplish cast, or is too dark, the value of the gem is diminished. Burma ruby gemstones tend to have inclusions, much more so than their blue sapphire cousins, which should be relatively inclusion free to command higher prices. Also remember that ruby prices rise exponentially in larger sizes. So be sure to check out all we have in loose ruby gemstones on sale at AfricaGems.com today.
