Fig. 26 UV-VIS spectrum of Tanzania rubies is characteristic for a ruby of high iron concentrations. Such spectra are, according to our opinion almost never observed in Burmese rubies but do occur in rubies found in Thailand. Thai rubies and Dodoma-Tanzanian rubies, however, can be easily separated by inclusion analyses and FTIR infrared analyses.
