Rubies are generally considered the most valuable of the colored gemstones when priced per carat for exceptional quality gems.  Ruby is a variety of the Corundum gemstone family.  Corundum is one of the most popular gemstone families, best known for Ruby and Sapphire.  The main difference between the two is due to Chromium & Iron trace elements, which produces the red hues.  The finest Rubies come from Myanmar (i.e. Burma), but we are seeing bright, vivid Red deposits from Pakistan and Afghanistan.  Today, Thailand seems to be the primary sources for Rubies, with brownish red hues.  Rubies are a Type II gemstone, they may be eye clean with minor inclusions visible under magnification. Most rubies are heat treated to improve color, which is the only acceptable gemstone treatment in the trade because it's affects are stable and long lasting.
