It's the most desirable color a ruby can have. In legend it's said to replicate the hue of the first two drops of blood that trickle from the nostrils of a freshly killed pigeon. So, in short, it's a rarest type of ruby.

Rubies are growingly dominating the coloured diamond section where investors are highly rewarded by a growing market. The total value of the market is expected to be more than $80 billion, where the top natural gemstones constitute the emeralds, rubies and sapphires. At a Christie auction, a Colombian emerald - 18.4 carat was sold for $5.5 million, whereas, a diamond and ruby ring fetched $10.5 million as compared to diamond-only ring which fetched just $2 million. Millennials are attracted to coloured stones because these stones look purest of all.

Colombia is the leading emerald supplier and the stones mined from Colombia can be of higher value as compared to Zambia and Brazil. Fura is the leading miner which got rights to mines of Mozambique rubies mines, where rich deposits of rubies can be found.

Historically, 90 per cent of the global pigeon blood rubies were produced in the Mogok mines of Myanmar. These are some of the cleanest stones on the earth as per the expert Richard Hughes but these luxury stones have been targeted by the military and its mining raised human rights concerns. A ban was imposed in 2008 by the US on the import of jade and rubies from Myanmar and the ban was lifted in 2012 to 2016 but remains till present day.

The country is the leading producer of some of the most expensive rubies in the world. The region is also famous for jadeites that are translucent green stones and many international brands are active in the past few years, working on these stones. About 30 per cent of the global rubies are now mined from Gem fields Mozambique; also, there are diversified sources of rubies in Kenya, Madagascar and Tanzania. Gemstones from these mines are polished and cut and embedded in jewelleries, which adds value to it, but poor handling can completely destroy the stones. Alternatively, one can invest in stocks and ETFs of the mining companies.

Auctions and investments

Gemstone investment is growing as these can be held for long or short term. Some of the celebrities sport diamonds such as the Meghan Markle’s diamond ring was worth $350,000 and the Kate Middleton’s sapphire valued at $37,000 in 1981. In 1986, the Burmese ruby bought by Prince Andrew for Sarah Ferguson’s engagement was worth $33,000. The Sunrise - a 25.59 carat ruby was auctioned at Geneva in 2015 by Sotheby, which became one of the most expensive rubies.

One of the most popular designs of Burmese rubies was exhibited in 2017 at Burmese Ruby Exhibition, in Monaco – which was hosted by the largest Burmese ruby company, and the key design was “The Imperial Necklace,” which was approximately made from 130 carat colourless diamonds. The exhibition was held at Hermitage Hotel by Ravi Lunia, the director of Faidee and more than 100 jewels were exhibited. There were 50 pigeon blood natural rubies from Myanmar and eight of the rubies in the set were of more than 5 carats.

Saturday Sampler: Pigeon-Blood Red by Ed Duncan

November 30, 2019

Duncan crafts a twisted thriller in his gangster-laced debut.

For underworld enforcer Richard “Rico” Sanders, it seemed like an ordinary job: retrieve his gangster boss’s stolen goods, and teach the person responsible a lesson.

But the chase quickly goes sideways and takes Rico from the mean streets of Chicago to sunny Honolulu. There, the hardened hit man finds himself in uncharted territory, when innocent bystanders are accidentally embroiled in a crime.

As Rico pursues his new targets, hunter and prey develop an unlikely respect for one another.

Soon, he is faced with a momentous decision: follow his orders to kill the very people who have won his admiration, or refuse and endanger the life of the woman he loves?

He had said nothing to Rico all this time and Rico hadn’t turned around to acknowledge him. He suspected that Rico intended to follow them into the building. He knew Rico didn’t live there and didn’t have a key. He didn’t like the idea of letting him in—not because it was against the rules or because he thought Rico might be an unsavory character. He simply wasn’t in the mood to be helpful.

Rico, a blank expression on his face, slowly turned and looked the man over from head to toe. The man glared contemptuously at Rico and turned his back to him while his wife, a plump woman with a round face and sparkling eyes, tried to keep the bags from falling by holding them up with one knee and then the other. Rico parted his lips to speak but before he could, the woman did.

“Henry, what’s the matter with you?” Her impatient voice twanged like a guitar string. “Will you please open the door? Can’t you see I’m about to drop these bags?”

“Shut up. There’s a rule against letting strangers in the building,” he barked, showing his bad teeth.

“Oh, Henry, don’t be so unneighborly. Open the door, why don’t you?”

“I said shut up.”

“Will you at least help me put these bags down?”

“Put them down yourself.”

Rico didn’t generally lose his temper or get excited. Still more rarely did he take things personally. If something had to be done, he did it in a logical, methodical way with as little disruption as possible, and his personal satisfaction was irrelevant. But once in a while, mission and satisfaction coincided—like now.

Getting the door open was his objective. Making Henry open it was going to give him a great deal of satisfaction, and it wasn’t even going to be disruptive.

Two sizeable steps put Rico directly in front of the woman, who by now was struggling mightily to put the bags on the door without spilling their contents. He reached down and took one bag in each arm, then, as though they were filled with cotton balls, shifted them both to his left the moment Henry turned to confront him. He stared directly into Henry’s eyes, saying nothing, a faint smile on his face.

That was all it took. Henry’s body wilted and beads of perspiration sprouted on his forehead. He cleared his throat and almost gagged. He had swallowed his pride so quickly he almost choked on it. He hurriedly opened the door.

Not changing the expression on his face, Rico thrust the bags into Henry’s chest and, holding the door open, motioned to the woman to go through first. Embarrassed, she thanked him and smiled self-consciously. He walked past her, barely acknowledging her gesture, then turned on his heel before climbing the three flights of stairs to Jean’s apartment. He couldn’t resist. He caught the man’s eye and said, “Thanks, Henry.”
