Description from the seller
A majestic rough ruby crystal with remarkable crystal faces and spectacular luminosity
Discover this exceptional natural rough ruby from Mauritania, a stunning crystal weighing 31.00 carats. This gemstone immediately stands out for its highly developed crystallization, broad natural faces clearly visible, and its intensely saturated red color of rare depth.
Its hue presents a rich, vivid red, strongly saturated, reminiscent of the prestigious “Pigeon Blood” rubies, famous for their exceptional intensity. Under transmitted light, the crystal reveals a bright red luminescence, highlighting its remarkable transparency as well as the finesse of its internal structure.
This specimen possesses remarkable crystal architecture, with large, flat natural faces that testify to slow and steady corundum growth. Its powerful geometry gives it an exceptional mineral presence, while its very fine clarity, uncommon for a rough ruby of this size, allows the natural growth striations and the depth of its color to be admired.
Natural Mauritanian rubies presenting such a combination of weight over 30 carats, transparency, well-preserved crystallization, and such an intense color remain particularly rare on the collector gem market.
