The Pigeon Blood Ruby is arguably one of the most prized and enchanting gemstones. Famous for its deep red color and rare occurrence, this mythical gemstone has been prominent throughout history, gemology, and astrology. Whether revered upon ruby slippers for their beauty or embodied through jewelry for their galactic vibrancy, the pigeon blood ruby has stood the tests of time as a harbinger of strength, passion, and wealth.
At Navratan – The Online Gem Bazaar, we have expertise in serving certified pigeon blood rubies that are completely natural, untreated and best of origins across the globe.
The name Pigeon Blood Ruby has come to define the best color quality of ruby — an intense red with a hint of blue. The name comes from its use in Burma (now Myanmar), where locals thought this bright red dye looked like the first two drops of blood from a freshly slaughtered pigeon. Though poetic, the name is right on the money—the term describes the extreme and uncompromising color of this gemstone.
In gemology, the pigeon blood ruby was long regarded as the best and most valuable ruby variety. Brilliance, saturation, fluorescence combine to create a gemstone branded with nature’s most passionate and dramatic beauty. Beyond its beauty, the ruby has been historically connected to power, protection, love, and courage, making this mesmerizing stone a highly coveted gem throughout ancient cultures and civilizations.
The finest authentic pigeon blood rubies will be found in the Mogok region of Myanmar (formerly called Burma). This magical land is often referred to as the “Valley of Rubies”, giving life to some of the rarest and most valuable rubies in history. Soil conditions, geological structure, and unique trace mineral content unite in Mogok to produce the gemstone’s trademark blood-red color and natural fluorescence.
It’s true that over the years, other mines like Mozambique and Madagascar have yielded rubies of good pigeon blood color. The real pigeon blood rubies – with the intense red color and soft, ethereal, bluish hue – are still mostly from Myanmar.
When purchasing a pigeon blood ruby, it’s very important to trace the stone’s origin and treatment history. At Navratan, we offer only lab-certified gemstones with information about origin, color grade and whether the gem is heated or untreated (unheated rubies are many times more valuable).
According to Vedic astrology, the ruby is governed by Surya, or the Sun — the planet of authority, leadership, vitality and confidence. The Sun’s energy is that of the king of all planets, and rules one’s inner self, power, and achievement. To wear a ruby—particularly one as perfect and powerful as a pigeon blood ruby—is to help augment these solar attributes in the wearer.
