The area is also known for producing other precious gemstones like spinel, sapphire, chrysolite or peridot, tourmaline and even rare gemstones.

Burmese gemstones are known for their unique and distinctive colors, high clarity, and excellent transparency. Burmese rubies, for example, are known for their rich red color and excellent transparency, often referred to as "Pigeon Blood" red. Burmese sapphires are renowned for their deep, velvety blue color, often referred to as "Burmese Blue" . Burmese spinel is known for its rich red and pink hues and high transparency.

Burmese gemstones are highly sought after by collectors, gemstone enthusiasts and in the jewelry industry, but it's worth noting that some Burmese gemstones may have been treated or enhanced to improve their color and clarity and it may affect the value of the stone. It's always a good idea to ask if the stone has been treated before purchasing if that information matters to you, and look for lab certifications, or other forms of authenticity to ensure that the gemstone you are purchasing is genuine and of high quality.
