AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Very fine large absolutely fiery AA red ruby (natural ruby) with 235 ct (total weight in matrix).
Approximately 47 grams weight - with numerous fine ruby crystals!
5.10 x 3.30 x 2.40 cm
Exclusive very large ruby on matrix – finest crystal red with UV light effect – 47g – Jegdalek Mine, Afghanistan
An absolute exceptional piece for discerning collectors of the finest minerals.
This rare ruby with exquisite beautiful crystals comes from the world-famous Jegdalek Mine in Surobi Province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan – one of the most renowned sources of top-quality ruby gemstones worldwide.
Special features of this piece:
Weight: approx. 47 grams.
Crystal size: extraordinarily large-format ruby crystals in a matrix.
Color: a very intense ruby red with a fine pink-red shimmer – a color quality that is unmatched.
Light behavior: Under UV light, it also reveals a breathtakingly luminous, deep neon red — almost supernatural in its intensity! In real life under UV light (365 nm), it appears even more intense than in the photos! As if looking directly into the sun.
Condition: natural, unpolished – genuine collector's quality -- photographed under different light
These rubies from Jegdalek are considered by connoisseurs to be the most valuable rubies outside of Myanmar—they are known for their outstanding color, clarity, and fluorescence. Pieces of this quality, with large crystals and aesthetic matrix formation, are extremely rare and rarely found on the market in this combination.
Ideal for high-end collectors, investors or as a spectacular showpiece in exclusive mineral collections.
Note: The Jegdalek mine has been one of the most important sources of high-quality rubies and corundum from Afghanistan for decades. Mining in this region is now difficult, making older, verified finds like this particularly valuable and sought-after.
