Apart from the name, how can you distinguish between a ruby and a pink sapphire? Gemologists rarely disagree that, in essence, they are the same stone with a very slight difference in hue.
Rubies are a curious case in point. To the naked eye, a Burmese ruby and an African ruby may appear to be the same, but which type of ruby did you buy? Knowing which is which could mean an enormous difference in the gem’s value.
It might come as a surprise, but those fiery red rubies and deep blue sapphires are actually the same mineral at heart. Both are forms of corundum, a naturally occurring mineral that, in its purest form, is colourless. What creates their vivid colours? There is just a hint of different impurities. For rubies, it’s a trace of chromium that turns them red, while for sapphires, it’s iron and titanium that bring out the blue.
Not all rubies are created equal, though. While rubies from Thailand and Burma (Myanmar) may look nearly identical to the naked eye, subtle inclusions tiny natural markings within the gem can reveal their origins. Burmese rubies, known for their velvety pigeon’s blood red, are more valuable due to their rarity and coveted hue. These inclusions can be detected under a microscope and are like a gem’s unique fingerprint, proving their origin and sometimes boosting their value by tenfold compared to a Thai ruby of similar colour.
At Anthony’s, their expert gemologists can test for these distinctions and so much more, offering in-depth insight into each gem s unique qualities. Whether you’re interested in colour, clarity, or origin, we can reveal the secrets locked within each stone, making sure you know exactly what you’re investing in.
