A massive ruby unearthed in Burma is being hailed as the second-largest ever discovered in the conflict-ridden country<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ruby weighs about 11,000 carats \u2014 about 4.8 pounds \u2014 and was unearthed near Mogok in the Mandalay region, the center of Burma\u2019s gem industry and an area affected by ongoing conflict, according to The Associated Press, citing state media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The stone was found in mid-April, shortly after the country\u2019s traditional New Year<\/a> celebrations.<\/p>\n

Although it is roughly half the size of a 21,450-carat ruby discovered in 1996, experts say the new find could be more valuable because of its higher quality, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

It has a purplish-red color with slight yellow tones, moderate transparency and a highly reflective surface.<\/p>\n

Burmese President Min Aung Hlaing<\/a> and his cabinet have already inspected the stone in the country’s capital of Naypyidaw.<\/p>\n

Burma produces up to 90% of the world\u2019s rubies, mostly from Mogok and nearby Mong Hsu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The gem trade \u2014 both legal and illegal \u2014 is a major source of income in the country.<\/p>\n

However, rights groups<\/a>, including Global Witness, have long urged jewelers to avoid buying Burmese gemstones, saying the trade helps fund the country’s military governments, according to The Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Gem mining also finances ethnic armed groups fighting for autonomy, contributing to Burma\u2019s long-running conflicts.<\/p>\n

The mining regions remain unstable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mogok was seized in July 2024 by the Ta\u2019ang National Liberation Army (TNLA), an ethnic armed group. Control later returned to the military under a ceasefire deal brokered by China late<\/a> last year.<\/p>\n
