AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This impressive raw ruby crystal displays an exceptionally vibrant, bright pink-red coloration that already indicates its high quality in its raw state. Under light, the stone reveals an almost magical fire: from deep ruby red to radiant pink zones that glow like inner embers emanating from the crystal.

The surface combines matte, naturally grown structures with individual translucent areas where the crystalline texture of corundum becomes visible. Particularly fascinating is the natural zoning, accompanied by warm red and pink tones, which gives the piece a dynamic, almost lively radiance.

Rough rubies of this size and strength are rare—especially those that already display such an intense native color without any cutting. As a result, this specimen holds significant value both as a collector's item and as potential material for high-quality processing, with a clear appreciation for its value appreciation potential.

A powerful, characterful ruby that embodies the essence of this noble corundum mineral in a particularly beautiful form.
