Ruby large raw 332-carat unprocessed rough ruby crystal- 66.38 g - (1)

Lieu approximatif de découverte 23°17' North 11°14' West Malgré sa grosseur, la translucidité est bonne, ce qui fait la particularité de ce rubis La couleur est rouge sang.... Tout cela fait de ce rubis une pièce vraiment exceptionnelle Ce gros cristal de rubis (corindon) provient de Mauritanie, (région Tiris Zemmour) à environ 100km de la ville de Zouerate. J'ai trouvé ce rubis au cours de recherches et repérages dans le désert en vue de proposer des séjours pour amateurs de minéraux et de détection aurifère Je le propose tel que je l’ai découvert, je ne lui ai fait aucun traitement thermique ou chimique, juste un nettoyage à l'eau savonneuse. Toutes les photos sont prises à la lumière naturelle du jour. Pour certaines d’entre elles j’ai posé le rubis sur la lampe torche allumée de mon téléphone portable Afin de montrer la forte réaction de fluorescence caractéristique des corindons (rubis et saphir) en éclairage ultraviolet, j'ai en plus éclairé ce rubis avec une petite lampe qui émet une lumière ultraviolette. J'ai photographié cette gemme aussi sincèrement et précisément que possible en utilisant la lumière du jour. Veuillez noter que des différences dans les réglages de l'écran et l'éclairage ambiant peuvent entraîner des variations dans la couleur, la saturation et le ton perçus. Le rubis que vous recevrez est bien sur celui qui est en photos. Je fais un envoi rapide sécurisé et discret en enveloppe indéchirable format C5 (162mmx229mm) en courrier recommandé de La Poste française.

Despite its size, the translucency is good, which makes this ruby special.
The color is blood red....
All this makes this ruby a truly exceptional piece.

This large ruby crystal (corundum) comes from Mauritania (Tiris Zemmour region), approximately 100km from the town of Zouerate.

I found this ruby during research and reconnaissance in the desert with a view to offering stays for mineral and gold detection enthusiasts.
I offer it as I discovered it, I have not given it any heat or chemical treatment, just cleaned it with soapy water.

All photos are taken in natural daylight.
For some of them, I placed the ruby on the lit flashlight of my mobile phone.
In order to demonstrate the strong fluorescence reaction characteristic of corundums (rubies and sapphires) under ultraviolet light, I additionally illuminated this ruby with a small lamp that emits ultraviolet light.
I photographed this gem as candidly and accurately as possible using daylight.
Please note that differences in screen settings and ambient lighting may cause variations in perceived color, saturation and tone.

The ruby you will receive is of course the one in the photos.

I send a fast, secure and discreet shipment in a tear-proof C5 envelope (162mmx229mm) by registered mail from La Poste française.
