Tanzania rubies

We know about origins of rubies from Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Africa, and India. These are well-known origins of rubies. Tanzania is a comparatively new origin. Some fine quality rubies are found in this origin. However, most of the ruby stones from this mine are of comparatively inferior quality.


Tanzanian ruby has a vivid red color, but most of the stones are inclusive. It is good for cabochons and beads. These stones are also being heat treated.

Shaping Gemstones

Jaipur is well known as a center of excellence in Cutting and Polishing Precious and Semi Precious Gemstones. Shaping of Gemstones is an integral part of the same.

Jaipur is renowned for its skilled artisans. Artisans, who shape the Gemstones, shape those from rough Gemstones. They shape Emerald, Ruby, Sapphires, Alexandrite, Tourmaline, Garnet, Amethyst, Citrine, Opal, Tanzanite, Iolite, Blue Topaz and many other stones. They use a small machine embedded with a grinding wheel 'San' (Local Language) to shape it.

Gemstones are shaped in Cuts, Cabochons, Drops, Beads etc. Further, those are classified into Oval, Octagon, Marquise, Round, Heart shape and fancy Shapes.
