Ruby from Burma, natural Trapiche ruby in rough crystal form with a pronounced radial sector structure, weighing 47.35 ct (9.47 g), untreated.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This exceptional Trapiche ruby displays the radial, segmented structure typical of this rare growth form, which runs clearly throughout the crystal. The clearly recognizable sector-like zones give the piece a graphical, almost architectural effect and make its formation history immediately visible.
In terms of color, the ruby ranges in warm red to purple and violet tones, which vary depending on the light. Partially translucent areas alternate with denser, mineral-influenced zones. At the edges and fracture surfaces, natural growth lines, fine textures and original surface features emerge, underscoring the raw character of the crystal.
Particularly impressive is the transparency in thinner parts, where the interior of the ruby glows in intense reddish nuances and further emphasizes the Trapiche structure. Inclusions and natural irregularities are visible and authentic – they enhance the individual expression of this rare corundum representative.
An exceptional collector’s piece that impresses both mineralogically and aesthetically with its rare Trapiche formation, strong color impact and clearly readable crystal structure.
