东南亚的红宝石,是亚洲也是世界上的著名矿产,这种宝石在亚洲主要产于缅甸、泰国、斯里兰卡,而从质量上说更以缅甸所产为最。红宝石和蓝宝石都是由矿物名称为刚玉的氧化铝分子所组成,其硬度9,比重3.95~4.10,有玻璃光泽。当其纯粹时本是无色透明的,若含有微量过渡元素铬则带上红色,成为红宝石。
血红宝石:缅甸出口的产品屈指可数,只有天然气,木材和宝石。
Blood rubies: Burma exports only a handful of products, such as natural gas, wood, and gems.
缅甸每开采500吨矿石,才能出产1克拉的红宝石成品,而品质优秀者更是廖廖无几。
In Burma, people could only find 1ct ruby from 500 tons of ores and the one with a high quality is really very rare.
天然红宝石大多来自亚洲(缅甸、泰国和斯里兰卡)、非洲和澳大利亚,美国蒙大拿州和南卡罗莱那州也有一点。
Most natural ruby from Asia (myanmar, Thailand and Sri Lanka), Africa and Australia, the United States, Montana and south Carolina have a bit.
