Description from the seller
Raw Natural Ruby - Mozambique - 257.10 ct (51.41 g) - Untreated
Splendid and imposing specimen of natural rough ruby from Mozambique’s renowned deposits, famous worldwide for the quality and chromatic richness of their corundums.
This exceptional piece boasts a substantial weight of 257.10 carats (51.41 grams) and presents with its characteristic well-defined hexagonal crystal morphology. When held to the light (as visible in the photos), the crystal reveals an extraordinary and vibrant red-to-intense fluorescence, a fascinating feature highly sought after by collectors.
The most important and valuable aspect is that the gem is completely natural and untreated (no thermal treatment or lead-glass filling), preserving its original geological authenticity. There are small inclusions of dark matrix that attest to its genuineness and natural growth.
Perfect as a piece for high-end mineral collections, as an investment, or as material for cutting and carving for gemologists and jewelers.
