Cabochon describes the cut that is used for rubies that are less transparent than their counterparts. The stone has a polished appearance that is rounded and smooth instead of cut into facets that reflect light. They are typically placed in a setting where the gem forms a dome.

Color: The deeper the red of the ruby, the more its value increases.
Hardness: This gem rates a 9 on the Mohr's hardness scale of one to 10.
Burma: Cabochon rubies mined in Burma are considered the best because of their intense color, rarity and durability.
Locale: These stones are also found in such places as Thailand, Australia, Kenya and China.
Names: Cabochons are known as "pigeon's blood" rubies because of their fiery color.
Reason: Gems are cut into a cabochon shape if they show such characteristics as a cat's eye or star effect, or are iridescent.
