Among the marble-hosted ruby deposits in the Himalayan tectonic belt, which yields the highest-quality rubies in the world, the Yuanjiang deposit is the only economically viable one located in China. More attempts are necessary to put constraints on the ore-forming age of these marble-hosted ruby deposits. Here, we dated rutile inclusions in the Yuanjiang rubies using the LA-ICP-MS U–Pb method, which yielded a lower intercept 206Pb/238U age of 20.2 ± 1.2 Ma on the Tera-Wasserburg plot, close to the 22.5–22.2 Ma 40Ar/39Ar ages of phlogopite from the ruby host matrix assemblage. Our U–Pb rutile age put a constraint on the cooling history of the Yuanjiang rubies deposit. The new rutile age is consistent with our previous model that shows the ca. 28–22 Ma left lateral shearing plays an important role in transporting the ruby deposit toward the surface. This study provides the first example of in-situ U–Pb dating of rutile in the Himalayan tectonic belt, demonstrating the great potential of U–Pb rutile geochronology for Cenozoic mineral deposits.

Prince Henri d'Orleans, precluded by French law from serving his country in the profession of arms, had his attention turned early towards exploration. In 1889, accompanied by the experienced traveller Gabriel Bonvalet, he set out from Paris to reach Indo-China overland by way of Central Asia, Tibet and western and south western China. The journey made contributions in the problems of the whereabouts of Lap Nor and the configuration of the then unexplored northern plateau of Tibet; and in botany it produced some species new to science. The party reached Indo-China in 1890. In 1895, having organised an expedition better equipped for topographical survey and for investigations in the fields of natural history and ethnography, Prince Henri set out from Hanoi with the intention of exploring the Mekong through the Chinese province of Yunnan. After proceeding up the left bank of the Salween for a brief part of its course and then alternating between the right and left banks of the Mekong as far up as Tzeku, the party found it advisable to enter Tibet in a north westerly direction through the province of Chamdo and instead crossed the south eastern extremity of the country, the Zayul, by a difficult track which led them to the country of the Hkamti Shans in present day Upper Burma, and thence to India completing a journey of 2000 miles, "1500 of which had been previously untrodden" (Prince Henri). West of the Mekong, the journey established that the Salween, which some geographers had claimed took its rise in or near north western Yunnan, in fact rose well north in Tibet, and that, contrary to previous opinions, the principal headwater of the Irrawaddy rose no further north than latitude 28°30'. Botanical collections were confined to Yunnan, where the tracks permitted mule transport, and they produced a number of species new to science and extended the range of distribution of species already known.
