SAPPHIRE BANKMOZAMBIQUE RUBIES
Mozambique has emerged as the most important new ruby source in decades. These African rubies offer vibrant color that can rival Burma at a fraction of the price — making them the smart choice for collectors building a portfolio.
WHY MOZAMBIQUE RUBIES?
Burma-Quality Color: The best Mozambique rubies display vivid, saturated reds that rival Burmese stones. Some have even received "pigeon blood" designations from major labs — a designation previously reserved almost exclusively for Burma.
Larger Sizes Available: Unlike Burma where fine rubies over 2 carats are extraordinarily rare, Mozambique produces gem-quality stones in larger sizes. This makes it possible to acquire impressive 3-5+ carat rubies at accessible prices.
Unheated Specimens: While many Mozambique rubies are heat-treated, the deposit produces a meaningful quantity of unheated stones with excellent color — rare in the ruby market.
Investment Potential: As Burma rubies become increasingly scarce and expensive, Mozambique is positioned to fill the gap. Early collectors of fine Mozambique rubies may see significant appreciation as the market matures.
BURMA VS MOZAMBIQUE
For pure investment, Burma remains king. For collectors seeking value and wearability, Mozambique offers exceptional opportunity.
