AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This specimen presents a compact rough ruby with a rounded, natural morphology. The stone is distinguished by a pink to bright red color, particularly expressive under lighting, highlighting a beautiful internal diffusion of light.
The surface shows irregular reliefs and natural facets, providing a direct reading of the crystal's raw growth. The lighting reveals a pronounced chromatic depth, reinforcing the visual impact of the piece.
