Pigeon Blood Red Rubies from Burma are the rarest, most expensive rubies in the world. The best come from Mogok, a town in the Mandalay Division of Myanmar, near the Chinese border, and closed to all foreigners.
This film takes you into the heart of the region described in Joseph Kessel’s famous mid-twentieth century novel, "The Valley of Rubies".
The adventure begins in Rangoon, visiting one of the greatest of Buddhist Temples, the Shwedagon Pagoda, where by reaching the summit; you will have the privilege of contemplating the priceless diamonds and precious jewels adorning the top.
The next part will take you to Mandalay, which has long been host to the Kings of Burma. This is the city where the white marble sculptors work to create the Buddhist monuments.
Then further north, you will enter into the sanctuary of jewels: Mogok, Burma. Many have desired entry, few have had the opportunity.
In this movie, you will discover the traditions and ancestral myths of the inhabitants in this country. As close to mining as you've ever been; you will enter into the galleries leading to the dark bowels of the earth where miners dig the walls with dynamite. You will also be among those who ‘sort’ at the end of each day in the alluvium screen giants. Before your very eyes, miners will extract stones of the most beautiful of red colored stones, called "pigeon blood rubies". These gemstones are of exceptional rarity. The Burmese say that seeing one is like seeing the face of God.
You will enter into a world of secrets: mines operated by the military, wealthy merchants who have gems of inestimable value, and finally, markets where the only food for sale are gemstones.
Then you will be invited into the most prohibited of annual auctions in the world, the Emporium in Yangon. Official sales of rubies, jade, pearls and other precious stones from Burma were made in this incredible building.
Finally, you can muse over the creations of jeweler Fred Place Vendôme in Paris.
Im a jewelry collector and have several Burmese rubies in my collection one with 2 carats of diamonds I wear daily. I also have an 11 carat star ruby set in 18k YG with baguette diamonds set in heavy platinum. I would LOVE to go on a gem trip.
This document video was made may be in around 1995, now a day 2024 , i watch it and it is also historically memories for me, love it so much thank you so much.
Great Documentaries Patrick!
How in the world have I missed your channel before now? I love your content. I collect stones that I plan will go to my children. I gave my new daughter in law on their wedding day, 2 princess cut 2ct each (4 tcw) rubies, so that my son could have earrings made for her. Ruby is her birthstone and I knew that she had absolutely nothing like it! I had a pair of beautiful moonstone cufflinks made for my son for his wedding day.

I wish I could see your video for days but it’s only a 52 minutes my bad luck because I’m the lover of rubies you have done a great job by visiting Burma 🇲🇲 keep it up sir love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Thank you for sharing this very informative documentary. Ruby is one of my favourite stones.
Great researches done. A very good documentary.
Очень благодарна за видео о бирманских рубинах.это своего рода и путешествие в данную страну.где так вся жизнь своеобразно устроена с опорой на буддизм.как господствующую религию.интересно и подробно представлен процесс ювелирной обработки камня.а еще показали такое великолепное кольцо с сапфиром.от созерцания которого просто дух захватывает.здорово.рассказ велся на хорощем английском
Очень интересно.Спасибо
Love the history of Blood Rubies which is my favorite. Thank you!

Very informative thankyou
We thank you for the video and for gift of God 🙏 I love ❤️
very informative
Incredible. Truly inspirational. This guy is living out my own personal dream. The information is top notch. The cinematography, storylines and personal interaction with mines, sellers etc. Is unmatched for someone like me whos making a list of places to visit.
On your trip(s) be sure to visit the gem market at Chantaburi in Thailand. Two days a week, Friday, but mostly Saturdays.
AI bot gen, no doubt! 🙄🙄🙄
I bet Patrick is wealthy! Anyone who can travel the world and have enough clout to be let into the mines and the inner workings would have to be.
But I also dream of seeing a working mine and having an opportunity, someday, to find a stone at a mine, that I can keep. But I'm already 52 years old and my hiking days are likely over, so it would have to be an easy excursion! But I can dream! I also dream I'm doing it all with a sexy man with a good heart lollll
im doing the same. making a list to visit. nothing like diamonds though
This dude is just a gem seller who rips off documentaries to advertise. Dont be so gullible
Amazing 👌
Beautiful rubies
Yoyo😂😂😂
Absolutely interesting
I love your docos.
Iam always watching you in your videos about any stones beautiful me like go with you ser
Amazing
Amazing video
I have a flashlight still blacklight that I like to shine on my piece of ruby rough in a white marble matrix. The glow from the ruby stands out and is amazing. I wonder if they tried using one in a cave or at night how many more they'd find. You'd have to think it's been done by now though.
Come what may a synthetic ruby appears, an experienced naked eye recognises it. Natural ruby, especially from Burma and Afghanistan speak themselves, no matter what the size they are of.
your documentary's are fantastic! it saddens me to see the way many people are living and treated though, very sad, they work so hard yet still live in mud and actually get no wealth from gem hunting. sad world, it needs to change towards humanity
Yep, all of Patrick's videos show that the miners are like that in all countries. Tough lives.

very nice
22 stones and 6 carat each? Did you buy that? You are so lucky to see those. Local people have never seen those in their lifetime.
He prob wouldn't sell it along with the fact that guy couldn't afford that piece and no money to be made on it. The gems are already cut and it's already in a necklace so unless he got a good deal it wouldn't be worth the opportunity cost
i have gems
也就是在浙江省義烏市隔壁，離義烏巿車程大約一小時。
Muito lindo o Rubi. .!!🌷
welcome to myanmar 🇲🇲 🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲🇲
Perfectttt 👍👍👍👍
I got a ruby from a crystal store for less than $20. It even glows under UV light! It's only a few centimeters in size. Looks legit.
Love your videos thank you for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
My home town MOGOK also known as RUBY LAND
That's fantastic it's so nice to meet you :) I'm from America. Can you tell me if that man at 23:40 really only paid that women $2 for all those rubies? 3000 MMK Kyat = $2.13
Yes.I thik this vdo was taken about 20years ago and price are depends on the quality of ruby.
@@arkarsrai9645 I understand, thank you very much for your reply. :)
Very nice video....
Thnx a lot...
February 10, 2022 absolutely incredible 🙏
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?!!!
i like it because i have a ruby mine so i get more exposure about ruby, Mlimasunzu from Tanzania, ODM mining Kiteto Manyara.
I recently saw a sapphire necklace go for over 100 million USD at Christies, i think this necklace with the 22 rubies of 6 carats each should easily bring double that amount.
I have one just like it going cheap.
Great crystal .
Rube look way better then diamond I think
Gr@titude Yul Montréal ❤
Eagle, red rubi the peerless stone? Well, it’s a bluff. Thank you very much!
Superb video.
Feel bad for the miners though, so many of them are coughing. Silicosis ain't great...
i like it
Interesting...
👌👍🙏very nice 🇲🇨🌷🌹💞

Love the video. I have always been drawn to the ruby even though my birth stone is diamond. I am a disabled vet so I will not be able to get even a decent ruby.

Nice video.educational.butdid not see collection of cut and polished fine Rubies. here.
One small error the black princes ruby is set above Cullinan 2 also known as the Second Star of Africa (a 317.4 ct diamond) in the British imperial state crown not above the Koh-I-Noor as stated which is in the queen consorts crown.
Nobody likes a smartass.
Whoa!
Very informative, that dragon tooth, aka herbivore tooth is mamoth.but I've never seen one so white, usually, discolored. Although not the main subject, it was informative. I also liked finding out about the French ruby, or fakes.

How about you and where are you from?
8000 kyat for a uncut ruby? That's 6 bucks rounding down. Holy shit.
different time different currency
Top ai a busca das pedras de rubi
Saya orang Indonesia yg suka dengan ruby karna warnanya bagus..
Nice
Sorry for writing you, just out of curiosity your page come up on my suggested friend lists so I was just wondering if I knew you from somewhere?!!!...
Interesting
3000kyat is about 600 cad then 2 cad now, they can easily sell for a price with many many zeros added after that number
even the cutting and setting with ancient tool is so cool, really want them now
I think the gems are more beautiful unheated. They look dull instead of glassy and purplish instead of deep red. Like a bruise versus blood. IMO.
Insane how that guy bought like 20 carts of Ruby for 3000 of their currency (3USD)
i love these videos, but...can't you put a link in the description instead of that annoying constant scrolling bar on the bottom?

Yeah it is called zoom in to fill the screen.
The videos themselves are ads...... and YT ad free. These beautifully shot, narrated, and crafted mini documentaries are essentially self funded ads for Voillot. He showcases his amazing travels to source amazing gemstones for us consumers. A small banner does not detract from the amazing content provided to you ad free, free of charge. With this in mind please be mindful of your privilege before complaining about free content.

The traditional cult to make a gift to spirits of nature is so close to my ethnicity’s culture! It’s the same thing. If someone takes something from the nature he or she should give the gift before. It’s absolutely right rule
Nise👍👌
Yes
Very good documentary. However, there are some glaring mistakes in your presentation. Burma is the name given by the British colonists when they ruled the country. The original and official name is MYANMAR. The population of the country is closer to 55 million, not 44 million. Rangoon is the anglicized version of Yangon and used to be the capital. Not anymore, Naypyidaw became the administrative capital in 2004, but Yangon is still the commercial hub and largest city in Myanmar.
Except for the afore mentioned errors, this is a well put together and very informative documentary.
This documentary was made in 2001 that why some informations need update
@@voillotpatrick9347 I see....thank you for taking the time to explain to me. Have you been back to Myanmar since 2001?
Very good toady of the repressive military regime that the rest of the world does not recognize as the true representative of the people . what about the Karen people that the BURMESE government murdered by the hundreds ?? Now the new wave of refugees created by the same people and us causing incursions into Thailand as well ???
@@howardwayne3974 wtf r u talking about? 🤨
the mind control of the stones
So is all red Ruby's called pigeons blood Ruby's or is it only particular type thanks.🥰
No. Pigeons blood is a certain type of ruby and color. and Ruby from a particular area like burma.hope this helps
I have one that kind of ruby.my mother give to me .mother said this ruby give it by her grand mother...so I think this is hundred year of age.
Want to sale ?
You should re-upload these without the annoying text scrolling at the bottom. Excellent documentaries other than that!
Love the rubies it’s my brith stone
Wow I have many moons stone any color

Welcome Tanzania East Africa
I like go there to find the biggest stone :)
lets go together brother
the complete Burmese ruby video thanks
I hope these miners make amazing finds, they deserve it
(Edit: The Burmese govt is not good, as we can see in today's news and the finds get seized by the millitary..
Very sadening, I don't know what to say)
Ebay.. They promise they are real. Get 10ct ruby for 5 bucks. EBAY guys..
@@lordcromwell5512 if it was real it would be millions and not on ebay
Yes, they're finding precious ruby but get ripped off by the wealthy and educated.
Even if they do make amazing finds, the military seizes it. The military then sells it & uses the proceeds to fund human rights abuses & genocide.
@@angelbaby3838 oh wow, I have only realised now by whats happening in the region as of today
Once upon a time when I was younger I believed in wishes and I always look up to heaven and look for falling star and make my wish I heard it is goodluck to see falling star and you make a wish so every night I look at heaven and look for the falling star so I can make a wish. But when I can't find I make myself believe that I seen one and make a wish
The pyramid always seems to start with the peons down at the bottom, and end up at some high-end jewelry salon somewhere. Neither end has much to do with the other.
This is great, they are speaking dollars
Hello from cambodia
I am interested as well

At the 25:00 mark, he is adding flux powder. it's not a secret.
👍👍👍
Muhteşem
Tourists should also beware of lead glass filled rubies. I’ll settle for a man made ruby of a big size being how expensive natural ones are, and how small or rather included naturals which are found in most jewelry.
*Most* rubies nowadays are glass-filled, or at least melted (heated) to get rid of imperfections. The one that the guy found down in that mine, oh yeah, that's quite rare; almost all of them are treated to get them to look like that, unfortunately.
Can a international tourist visit mogok, buy ruby gemstone from the mines
I have a pigeons blood ruby
Where to sale it?
