Ruby natural Trapiche crystal from Burma, Rohkristall with a prominent sector structure, 47.35 ct, untreated, hardness 9.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This extraordinary Trapiche ruby shows the radial, zoned structure typical of this rare growth form, which runs clearly through the entire crystal. The clearly recognizable sector-like zones give the piece a graphic, almost architectural quality and make its formation history immediately visible.
Color-wise, the ruby ranges in warm red to purple and violet tones, varying with the incident light. Partly translucent areas alternate with denser, mineral-inspired 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 light transmission in thinner portions, 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 reinforce the individual expression of this rare corundum representative.
An exceptional piece for collectors, which convinces both mineralogically and aesthetically through its rare Trapiche formation, its powerful color effect and the clearly readable crystal structure.
