Description from the seller
Rare Raw Myanmar Ruby Double - Two Crystals United - 120.65 ct - Untreated
In the auction is an exceptional and fascinating collector’s specimen from the historic and renowned mines of Myanmar (Burma), the cradle of the world's finest rubies.
This extraordinary sample stands out for a particularly interesting geological formation: in fact, it consists of two distinct natural ruby crystals interconnected and attached to one another. The upper crystal shows a well-defined prismatic shape with the classic rough surface of rough gem material, while the second crystal serves as a natural base.
With a total weight of a substantial 120.65 carats (24.17 grams), this unique piece exhibits an extraordinary reaction when backlit, revealing an intense and vivid red-pink fluorescence that enhances its internal structure and the union of the two elements.
A one-of-a-kind display piece, ideal for collectors of rare minerals, investors, or lovers of natural and distinctive crystal formations.
Lot specifications:
• Gem type: Natural Ruby (Corundum)
• Feature: Naturally attached two-crystal formation
• Origin: Myanmar (Burma)
• Total weight: 120.65 carats / 24.17 grams
• Overall dimensions: about 3 x 2.2 x 2 cm
• Treatment: None (100% Natural)
• Condition: Raw/untreated for collection
The photos were taken under different lighting conditions (including backlighting) to best show the structure, the junction point of the two crystals, and the spectacular light reaction
