Burmese rubies are celebrated for their exceptional red and pink hues. The most prized color is the vivid "pigeon’s blood" red, characterized by a deep, rich red with a subtle blue tint, making it extremely rare and valuable.

In addition to red, Burmese rubies can also be found in beautiful shades of pink, which are equally sought after.

Myanmar is home to two major ruby mining regions: the famed Mogok Valley and the Mong Hsu mines. Mogok, known as the "Valley of Rubies," produces the finest pigeon’s blood rubies, renowned for their intense color and natural fluorescence.

Mong Hsu, a more recent discovery, also yields high-quality rubies, though these often require heat treatment to enhance their color. Both regions are integral to Myanmar's global reputation as a premier source of the world’s finest rubies.
