Burmese Ruby

Burmese Ruby is the most premium variety of stone with an even rarer availability, making it highly precious. The most exquisite Burmese Ruby gemstones, also called Ratnaraj or King of Precious Crystals in Sanskrit, have a comparable value to Diamonds. The crystal is known for its deep red color, often called Burmese pigeon blood Ruby. While some Burmese folklore says the pigeon red signifies the color of the bird’s blood, others say it represents the color of the pigeon’s eye center. Regardless, the stone is part of the Big 4 group of powerful crystals, with the other 3 being Diamond, Emerald, and Sapphire.

The stone is exclusively found in Upper Myanmar’s area of Mogok Valley, called the Valley of Rubies. The high chromium content in the region gives the natural Burmese Ruby its classic red hue. The Burmese Ruby meaning encompasses material and spiritual aspects of life. While it symbolized royalty and protection in ancient times, it eventually expanded to include prosperity and wisdom in its significance.

The divine prowess of Burmese Ruby is visible in its association with the Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi, and the Goddess of Love, Aphrodite. The ruling planets of the original Burmese Ruby are Mars and Sun. The former imparts action, energy, and passion, while the latter teaches leadership, optimism, and warmth. Both energies strengthen the fire element in the stone, making you more energetic and passionate.
