About Thailand Ruby
Natural Thailand rubies have a darker red hue but superior clarity than other varieties.
Thailand has been a prominent source of global ruby production for the past half a decade. The Thailand Ruby has been mined since the 15th century and became the hot favorite of ruby seekers after the decline of the precious Burmese variety in the 18th century. Their dark red color and exceptional eye-clean clarity have become a trademark characteristic of Thai Ruby, with occasional blue or purple overtones.
The present-day mining and production of Ruby Stone have declined considerably. The country's historical ruby deposits of great value are getting depleted, and these popular gemstones have become a rare luxury. Yet, as compared to its neighboring nations, the Thailand Ruby gemstone remains economical and within the reach of a majority of buyers while being natural and of great value.
Southeast Asia, led by Thailand, has been the Ruby hotspot since the dawn of history and continues to be so. Delima is the word for Ruby in Thai nativity, and even today, with discoveries of various other Ruby deposits, Thailand remains the Ruby hotspot of the world. The age-old exceptional skills of Ruby cutters, polishers, and craftsmen, known as lapidaries, attract Ruby buyers and sellers worldwide. Raw Ruby specimens of promising quality are frequently brought to the cities of Bangkok and Chanthaburi to be transformed into polished pieces of exceptional beauty that greatly enhance their value.
