Myanmar (Burma)

The Mogok Stone Tract in Upper Myanmar — historically Burma — is the most storied ruby locality on earth. For centuries its marble-hosted deposits have produced rubies of an intense, slightly fluorescent red the trade calls "pigeon's blood," a color benchmark no other source has matched. Mogok and the newer Mong Hsu field also yield superb spinel and sapphire. Burmese stones command a premium for their unrivaled saturation and the romance of their origin.
