AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Approximate find location
23°17' North
11°14' West
This ruby has a very beautiful, strongly defined hexagonal structure.
Despite its size, it is quite translucent, which makes this ruby distinctive.
The color is blood red....
All of this makes this ruby a truly exceptional specimen.
This large ruby crystal (corundum) comes from Mauritania (Tiris Zemmour region), about 100 km from the town of Zouerate.
I found this ruby while exploring and surveying the Mauritanian desert.
I am offering it as I found it. I have not given it any heat or chemical treatment—just cleaned it with soapy water.
All photos were taken in natural daylight.
For some of them, I placed the ruby on the flashlight of my mobile phone while it was switched on.
To show the strong fluorescence characteristic of corundum (ruby and sapphire) under ultraviolet light, I also illuminated this ruby with a small UV lamp.
I photographed this gemstone as honestly and accurately as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting may cause variations in the color, saturation, and tone as perceived.
The ruby you receive will of course be the one shown in the photos.
I ship quickly, securely, and discreetly in a tear-resistant C5 envelope (162 mm x 229 mm) by registered mail with the French postal service, La Poste.
Shipped with a tracking and traceability code.
