AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Raw Burmese Ruby – 152.35 ct – Completely Natural (Unheated)
In auction, a magnificent and imposing specimen of rough ruby from the legendary Myanmar mines (formerly Burma), the cradle of the world's finest rubies. This exceptional crystal boasts an extraordinary weight of 152.35 carats (30.50 grams), a carat weight decidedly rare for a natural ruby from this provenance.
The mineral presents with a vibrant and intense pink-red / magenta coloration, showing spectacular reaction and fluorescence when exposed to a light source (as visible in the auction photos).
The most crucial aspect for collectors and investors is that the gem is completely natural and untreated: it has not undergone heating or lead glass filling, preserving its original geological nature intact.
A display piece unique for collectors of rare minerals or an incredible raw material for study and potential cutting for master lapidaries.
