Ruby Gems are a thousand years of rich history behind them. This stone-colored crowns and royal ornaments honored loved for centuries. Corundum, a mineral species, is extremely durable, so a centuries-old Ruby can still look as glorious as when it was polished.

But the political turmoil in this ruby-producing countries have often hampered the delivery of this gem. So when the news of the new ruby ​​deposit Winz village in Tanzania spread of the market a couple of years ago, was expected solution cache loss of wealth of high-quality ruby, which has banned the trade in Myanmar, and Madagascar.

Rubies have been a solid fan base over the centuries, but it was not always easy to identify.

When mining began serious gems in late 2007 to a reservoir near the village Winz deep in southern Tanzania, which caused a loud noise and offer hope for collectors of fine gemstones. Ruby had been discovered in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa in recent years, but this discovery was exceptional. Mines produce large crystals, and most of it is a gem.

Winz The best quality stones is excellent. While the color is not the same as the best stones from Burma, is close enough. In a world where even a five-carat ruby ​​is extremely rare quality, the appearance of fine jewelry market is really extraordinary Winz and a cause for celebration. "
