  New Winza (Tanzania) Ruby Discovered:
Rivals Legendary Beauty of Vibrant Pigeon-Blood Mogok (Burma) Quality
 
   

A thrilling new source of rubies was revealed in Tanzania last year, 2008. This breakthrough discovery of a completely new variety of ruby has electrified the gemological world. Many large rubies with excellent clarity and stunningly vibrant color staggered the Global gem trade. Famed Gemologist Dr. A. Peretti , Managing Director of Gem Research Swisslab (GRS www.gemresearch.ch) has announced his ground-breaking onsite research. At the Winza mine, a small tract in the Tanzanian district of Dodoma, Peretti examined the new variety of rubies, up to 10-carat sizes. Even before heating, all had that legendary Mogok, Burma pigeon-blood-red color exhibiting extremely fine clarity and brilliance.

Best of all, with the recent American ban on all Burma gemstones, there is now an alternative to Burmese Gem Rubies.
In keeping with GRS’s Global renown as leader in origin-identification, Dr. Peretti was granted special permission by the Government of Tanzania to undertake geological field studies and collect reference samples. Working together with local Tanzanian geologists, GRS was able to record exact GPS locations of the ruby-mining sites.

Peretti was even allowed to enter the mining tunnels and investigate the primary veins 15 meters below the surface. On-site mineral examination was used with GRS’s new portable Field-Raman spectrometer.
 
       
   
You can find all the details of Dr. Peretti’s probe at http://www.gemresearch.ch/news/Journal7DVD/ContributionNo.7.pdf, where you will see his detailed research campaign into these new gemstones. The specifics of his investigation includes chemical analysis, color analysis, infrared analysis, scanning electron-microscope analysis and structural analysis.
Combining the field experience of GRS (GemResearch SwissLab) together with the analytical expertise of the research group for Trace Elements & Micro Analysis at the Department of Chemistry and Applied Biosciences at ETH Zurich, Switzerland (http://www.ethz.ch/about/index_EN), Dr. Peretti is proud to offer you – visually and close-up – his exclusive in-depth research involving the formation and identification of these astonishing Winza (Tanzania) rubies.

From this pioneering research and unique data, you will better understand the origins and formation of this earthshaking Winza-Ruby discovery. These small miracles of Nature were created by metamorphism within exotic rock suites originating from the lower crust or upper mantel of the earth.
 

We hope you will enjoy this adventure into the exciting world of modern gemology and origin-determination. You are welcome to purchase the 100-page book and DVD right here at D4U WEB (www.d4uweb.com or wolf@d4uweb.com).

Chinese New Year: Thailand
23 January – 4 February 2009

Sino-Thai trade and cultural ties span centuries. In times past, sea-farers, marine merchants and traders sailed up the Kingdom’s rivers with vessels laden with merchandise and precious goods including, Chinese tea, silk and fine porcelain. As trade between the two countries flourished, permanent settlements of peoples of various ethnic Chinese origin were established. While the early settlers quickly adapted to their new way of life and adopted Thai ways, they also continued to maintain strong cultural ties and practiced the customs and traditions diligently observed by their forefathers. Of these, the celebration of the Chinese New Year remains the most important annual festival: on the Chinese lunar calendar, as observed in all the regions of Thailand.
 

“Chinese New Year in Thailand’s China Town” takes place from 23 January to 4 February, 2009. Festive celebrations are typically staged in areas where there is a significant Thai-Chinese community, such as the Yaowarat district in Bangkok.

During the event, there are seven amazing performances from seven regions and provinces of China, namely; Guangxi Zhuang in Southern China, Hainan Province bordering the South China Sea, Shandong Province, Anhui Province, Heilongjiang, Inner Mongolia and Jilin Province. The installation of the “Kuan Im Goddess” is presented as an additional highlight. HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presides over the opening ceremony at Yaowarat — Bangkok’s China Town — on 26 January, 2009.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) receives the full support of the public and private sector. This includes active involvement of the Chinese Embassy, domestic & International airlines and other related organizations. The Chinese New Year festivities are held in Bangkok’s Chinatown and the following key provinces: Phuket, Nakhon Sawan, Songkhla (Hat Yai district), Chon Buri (Pattaya district), Chiang Mai, and Nakhon Ratchasima; all hosted on a grand scale.

While a variety of contemporary elements have been incorporated through time, Chinese New Year celebrations throughout Thailand are a reminder of the rich cultural, artistic legacy and wealth of history preserved in these ‘living museums’.

The 2009 Chinese New Year Festival is jointly organized by TAT, the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, the Embassy Of The People’s Republic Of China in Thailand in Bangkok on behalf of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, Bangkok’s Samphantawong district, Samphantawong community and Thai-Chinese associations throughout Thailand
