Ruby from Burma, natural trapiche ruby in rough crystal form with a clearly radial, sector‑structured growth, 47.35 ct (16×15×15 mm), untreated.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This exceptional Trapiche ruby showcases the radially foliated structure typical of this rare growth form, which runs clearly throughout the crystal. The readily recognizable sector-shaped zones give the piece a graphic, almost architectural effect and make its formation history immediately visible.
Color-wise, the ruby ranges in warm reds, purples, and violets, varying with the angle of light. Partially translucent areas alternate with denser, mineral-influenced zones. Along the edges and fracture surfaces, natural growth lines, fine textures, and original surface features come to the fore, underscoring the raw character of the crystal.
Particularly impressive is the translucency in thinner parts, where the interior of the ruby glows in intense reddish hues, further accentuating the Trapiche structure. Inclusions and natural irregularities are visible and authentic – they enhance the individual expression of this rare corundum representative.
An extraordinary collectible item, convincing both mineralogically and aesthetically through its rare Trapiche formation, powerful color impact, and the clearly readable crystal structure.
