Description

Beginning in the mid-1990's, mines near Songea began to produce material with a dark, garnet-like color veering towards orange. While this material is ruby of a sort, it's marginal due to its high iron content. While ‘Russian Giant’ is the least tall of our giant sunflower selections at 2.5-3m tall, it produces truly giant flowers at 30cm across. Nepal is a relatively new source of rubies. A goat herder discovered ruby in the mountains in the 1980s. The clarity of Nepalese ruby is usually low to mid-commercial, although gemmy crystals do exist. Typically, Nepalese crystals weigh 5 carats or less and have heavy color zoning, from pure red to pinkish-purplish red. Vietnam Inclusions can also help identify the source of a ruby. See our article on identifying the origins of rubies and sapphires for more information. Synthetics Though this cultivar has a narrowish profile, quite interestingly, it has the bonus of being a multi-stalked type, making it more of a typical garden plant. 4) H. annuus ‘Sunsation Yellow’

Rubies as well as sapphires can display asterism, the "star effect," due to rutile inclusions in their hexagonal crystal matrix. If this rutile is sufficiently abundant and precisely arranged, proper cabochon cutting can create star rubies. As a bartender, there's nothing quite like watching the sun set over the horizon while sipping on a deliciously crafted drink. Technically qualifying as a dwarf variety at 75cm tall, ‘Sunsation Yellow’ boasts the plus point of a relatively long blooming season that goes well into autumn. This cultivar seems to be especially attractive to bees, butterflies and birds. 10) H. annuus‘Kong’With the decline in Myanmar production during the 1962--1990 period, the market became conditioned to Thai/Cambodian rubies. Some people actually preferred them. Nevertheless, Thai/Cambodian rubies are acceptable only when good material from Myanmar-type sources isn't available. Today, production from Thailand and Cambodia is negligible. a b Ginanne Brownell Mitic (13 May 2015). "At Jewelry Auctions, Color Is King". The New York Times. Archived from the original on 19 May 2015 . Retrieved 13 May 2015. Its flowers, held aloft, have a light brown disc surrounded by bright sunny-yellow to sulphur-yellow petals.

This tough annual self-seeds readily and has become naturalised in many geographic regions outside North America. The general view at present seems to be that simple heating, being stable and indistinguishable from nature's own heating processes, is acceptable as long as it's disclosed. For this reason, heating doesn't radically lower the value of ruby gems. However, this isn't the case for other more recently invented treatments, such as diffusion coloring or filling with polymer and/or lead glass.

Also of a nondescript height nearing 1.5m and also producing flowers of an average size, ‘Ruby Sunset’ is also very much a special cultivar. Other than where noted, they flower through most of the summer and are annuals. 1) Helianthus annuus

Stones from Kenya and Tanzania are magnificent when clean, but facet-grade material is rare. Like Myanmar, much of this material is strongly fluorescent. These deposits have produced no star stones. It is of a branching type and shows off its incredible, one-of-a-kind flowers nearly all summer long. 17) H. annuus‘Sunbelievable Brown-Eyed Girl’ The big 16-18cm flowers are centred by a rich brown disc surrounded by equally rich deep yellow rays. 11) H. annuus‘Helios Flame’ In the late 1990s, gem-quality rubies began appearing in much more abundance from the Möng Hsu region of Myanmar. Rubies fluoresce in long or shortwave ultraviolet light. Gemologists can also often use this property to help identify a stone's geographic origin.

Known in olden times as the ""Beryl Island,"" Madagascar has long been considered a mineralogical paradise. It's still known for its gem wealth and yields more than just beryl gemstones. Madagascar produces mainly fine blue and pink sapphires. However, two important ruby deposits have also been discovered. The first lies approximately 1030 km inland from the coastal town of Vatomandry. The second is roughly 45-70 km from the town of Andilamena.
