HUGE 182grams!! Ruby with Hornblende – Fluorescent - no reserve price - Height: 5.4 cm - Width: 4.9 cm- 182 g
This time I got something special for You:
Impressive ruby crystals embedded in a dark hornblende matrix from the famous Longido mining area in Tanzania. The ruby shows a vivid red color under daylight and a striking bright red fluorescence under UV light, making it highly desirable for collectors. The hexagonal crystal structure is well-preserved, displaying sharp edges and a fine natural texture. A perfect addition to any mineral collection, especially for those passionate about fluorescent specimens.
Fluorescent in UV light - using Convoy LW UV flashlight
Condition as on pictures.
Very aesthetic specimen much better in person.
Color is very difficult to reproduce in the pictures. Some pictured specimens show slightly different shades that seen with a human eye. Generally in my opinion the colors in reality are slightly prettier.
