LARGEST COLLECTION OF COLOURED GEMSTONES FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO BE SHOWCASED AT BONHAMS HONG KONG

"The increasing popularity of natural coloured gemstones has been driven by growing demand from around the world and interest in them is now widening to newer areas."

"Mozambique (Ruby)
The mines in Mozambique are producing extremely high quality examples of the finest rubies since the discovery of the Montepuez deposit in 2009. What makes the Mozambique rubies special in the fine gemstone market is that the mines are producing some larger gems that do not require heat treatment. By comparison, recent production of Burmese rubies has been almost exclusively in smaller sizes, with the vast majority of gems requiring heat treatment. "
