The most important
factor in the value of a ruby is color. The top qualities are as
red as you can imagine, Rubies are more valuable and even rare than the
top quality colorless diamonds. Top rubies measuring, Sizes above five
carats are are not easily found. The intensity of color of a fine ruby
is very bright Red. After color, the other factors which influence the
value of a ruby are clarity, cut, and size. Rubies that are perfectly
transparent, with no tiny flaws, are more valuable. A well-cut stone
should reflect back light evenly across the surface without a dark or
washed-out area in the center that can result from a stone that is too
deep or shallow. The shape should also be symmetrical and there
shouldn't be any nicks or scratches in the polish. Rubies and other
gemstones are sold per carat, a unit of weight equal to one-fifth of a
gram. Larger rubies, because they are more rare, will cost more per
carat than smaller stones of the same quality. The most famous source of
fine rubies is Burma, which is now called Myanmar. Some top-quality
rubies appear on the market from Afghanistan and Pakistan.
