Untreated natural Trapiche ruby crystal from Burma, 47.35 ct, 16×15×15 mm, with a prominent radial sector structure.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This extraordinary Trapiche ruby displays the characteristic, radially segmented structure typical of this rare growth form, which clearly extends throughout the entire crystal. The distinctly recognizable sector-like zones give the piece a graphic, almost architectural effect and make its formation history immediately visible.
Color-wise, the ruby moves through warm red to purple and violet tones, which vary depending on the light. Partially translucent areas alternate with denser, mineral-formed zones. At the edges and fracture surfaces, natural growth lines, fine textures, and original surface features become visible, emphasizing the raw character of the crystal.
Particularly impressive is the light transmittance in thinner areas, where the interior of the ruby glows with intense reddish nuances and the Trapiche structure is further accentuated. Inclusions and natural irregularities are visible and authentic – they enhance the individual expression of this rare corundum specimen.
An extraordinary collector's item that impresses both mineralogically and aesthetically through its rare Trapiche formation, powerful color effect, and clearly visible crystal structure.
