President Bush signed an import ban on Burmese Rubies and Jadite from the country of Myanmar. The Military rulers their are using the gemstones to finance their degredation of its people. The ban does not pertain to stones that are already here, just those that are coming in from Myanmar or through other countries like Thailand. This ban is going to make Rubies more rare and consequently raise thier prices.
