AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Approximate location of discovery
23°17' North
11°14' West
Despite its size, the translucency is good, which is the hallmark of this ruby
The color is blood red....
All of this makes this ruby a truly exceptional piece
This large ruby crystal (corundum) comes from Mauritania, (Tiris Zemmour region) about 100 km from the town of Zouerate.
I found this ruby during searches and reconnaissance in the Mauritanian desert
I am offering it as I discovered it; I have not subjected it to any heat or chemical treatment, just a wash with soapy water.
All photos were taken in natural daylight.
For some of them I placed the ruby on the lit flashlight of my cellphone
In order to show the strong fluorescence reaction characteristic of corundums (rubies and sapphires) under ultraviolet light, I also illuminated this ruby with a small lamp that emits ultraviolet light.
I photographed this gem as sincerely and precisely as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting may lead to variations in perceived color, saturation, and tone.
The ruby you will receive is, of course, the one in the photos.
I offer fast, secure, and discreet shipping in a sturdy C5 envelope (162mm x 229mm) via French La Poste registered mail.
Shipped with a tracking and traceability code.
