Description from the seller

A remarkable rough gem with an intense red color and exceptional transparency

This magnificent natural rough ruby from Mauritania instantly captivates with its deeply saturated red hue, remarkable transparency, and aesthetically appealing natural crystallization. At 24.00 carats, it is a rare piece that brings together the qualities most sought after by natural ruby collectors.

Its shade reveals a deep, vibrant, luminous red, evoking the famous “Pigeon Blood” rubies, considered the absolute benchmark for their intensity and color purity. Under transmitted light, the crystal reveals spectacular luminosity, allowing a brilliant red light to pass through and enhance its natural beauty.

The very fine clarity of this specimen allows observation of its internal structures, delicate growth striations, and natural crystal development, true witnesses to its formation at the heart of the Earth. Its balanced morphology and harmonious volumes give it a remarkable presence both in a collection and as a future rough for cutting.

Natural Mauritanian rubies displaying such a combination of color, transparency, size, and crystallinity remain particularly rare on the market.
