Description from the seller
Approximate location where it was found
23°17' North
11°14' West
This beautiful 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 thermal or chemical treatment; I have only cleaned it with soapy water.
All photos were taken in natural daylight.
For some of them, I placed the ruby on the lit flashlight of my mobile phone.
To show the strong fluorescence characteristic of corundum (ruby and sapphire) under ultraviolet light, I also illuminated this ruby with a small UV light.
I photographed this gemstone as honestly and accurately as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting may result in variations in perceived color, saturation, and tone.
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 code.
