Although East Africa has gained big league status as a producer of newcomer gems such as tsavorite and tanzanite, it is still considered bush league when it comes to traditional stones such as sapphire and emerald.

For sure, the region is rich in these standbys. However, the quality of stones found so far is generally judged inferior to that from other active gem localities such as Burma and Sri Lanka for sapphire, or Colombia and Zambia for emerald.

That leaves ruby, which East Africa mines in abundance, to earn it the respect it craves as a source of stalwart gems. Ruby finds in Kenya have already begun to raise hopes. But no one is ready yet to raise glasses. "It all depends on whether the new deposits prove the rule rather than the exception, " says a Seattle dealer who specializes in African gems.

What has the newer East African ruby got that older stones from this region lack? And how good does that really make this ruby when compared to that of its Southeast Asian counterparts?

Ruby is one of the most famous red stones along with emerald. This is one of the oldest known gemstones in the world. Ruby has a bright red color and is semi-transparent in texture. It is the strongest gemstone in the world, second to only diamond and is also the most expensive stone after diamond.
