At auction, an exceptional and massive specimen of natural rough ruby weighing an impressive 790 carats. The crystal comes from the renowned mining areas of Afghanistan, known for the quality of their corundums. The piece stands out for its perfect and well-defined natural hexagonal geometry, clearly showing the crystal habit typical of corundum. The color is an intense red-violet/pink with fascinating structural patterns and natural inclusions visible on the surface, which authenticate its origin and the complete absence of synthetic treatments.
