An untreated trapiche ruby (corundum) specimen from Burma, presented as a rough crystal with a distinct sector structure.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This extraordinary Trapiche ruby displays the radial structure typical of this rare growth form, clearly extending throughout the entire crystal. The distinct sector-like zones give the piece a graphic, almost architectural appearance and make its formation history immediately visible.

In color, the ruby ranges from warm red to purple and violet hues, which vary depending on the light. Partially translucent areas alternate with denser, mineral-rich zones. Natural growth lines, fine textures, and original surface features are visible along the edges and fracture surfaces, highlighting the crystal’s raw character.

Particularly impressive is the way light passes through the thinner sections, making the interior of the ruby glow in intense reddish shades and further emphasizing the Trapiche structure. Inclusions and natural irregularities are visible and authentic—they enhance the unique character of this rare corundum specimen.

An exceptional collector’s piece that impresses both mineralogically and aesthetically with its rare Trapiche formation, powerful color, and clearly visible crystal structure.
