Description from the seller

A magnificent rough ruby in the prestigious red shade "Pigeon Blood"

Discover this exceptional natural rough ruby from Mauritania, a collection specimen that captivates with its intensely saturated red color, semi-transparent clarity, and excellent natural crystallization. With a weight of 32.50 carats, this gem is a rare piece, ideal for discerning collectors and gemology enthusiasts.

Its color presents a vivid red to deep red hue, with exceptional saturation, reminiscent of the famous "Pigeon Blood" shade, an emblematic reference for the most prestigious rubies. This chromatic richness is enhanced by a very intense natural red fluorescence, offering a spectacular glow when the stone is viewed under transmitted light.

Its semi-transparent transparency highlights the depth of color as well as the remarkable internal crystal structures. Natural growth striations and well-developed crystal facets testify to its entirely natural origin and strengthen its gemological and mineralogical interest.

Its compact and harmonious morphology gives it excellent visual presence, while its weight over 32 carats makes it a particularly sought-after specimen in this color quality.
