Rubies wholesale to the trade today for approx. $70 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $35,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. The price goes up to well over $100,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup.

NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment.
Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.

Ruby. More expensive that diamond at times. The most expensive ruby to my knowledge is the 25.59 carat Sunrise Ruby which sold at auction in 2015 for $30,420,000.00
Hindus consider ruby very spiritual.... believe the red comes from an eternal flame that no human can extinguish.
