Price per CD: $1,188,745
As one of the very famous blood-red gems, ruby is one of the most expensive gemstones in the world. It is also a variety of corundum, being distinguished by its color- from pale almost transparent to dark reddish-brown. The largest ruby deposits were in Thailand, but are now exhausted, and the most precious rubies come from Burma today.
