AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Approximate discovery location
23°17' North
11°14' West

This large ruby crystal (corundum) comes from Mauritania, (Tiris Zemmour region), about 100 km from the town of Zouerate.

I found this ruby during research and reconnaissance in the Mauritanian desert. I am offering it as I found it; I have not subjected it to any heat or chemical treatment, just cleaned it with soapy water.

All photos were taken in natural daylight. For some of them I placed the ruby on the lit flashlight of my mobile phone to show the strong fluorescence characteristic of corundums (ruby and sapphire) under ultraviolet light, and I also illuminated this ruby with a small UV-emitting lamp.

I photographed this gem as honestly and accurately as possible using daylight.

Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting can cause variations in color, saturation, and perceived tone.

The ruby you will receive is, of course, the one shown in the photos.

I offer fast, secure, discreet shipping in a non-bendable C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) by La Poste Française registered mail.
Shipped with a tracking and traceability code.
