Natural ruby crystal from Burma. Rare raw gemstone with intense luminosity - 28.90 ct- 5.78 g

This extraordinary rough ruby from Burma displays the unmistakable intensity for which Burmese rubies are renowned worldwide. In its natural state, it reveals an impressive spectrum of rich raspberry and purple-red tones, interwoven with fine, warmer color nuances that give it an organic depth and liveliness. Under light, the stone seems to glow: a vivid cherry-red radiance emanates from within, making visible the high-quality corundum structure hidden inside.

The surface displays a distinctive blend of crystalline areas, matte sections, and natural growth zones, preserving the piece's authentic raw stone character. Occasional light patches, fine inclusions, and small veins add complexity to the ruby and highlight its origin from one of the world's most famous ruby regions. This natural texture tells of pressure, heat, and geological time—factors that make such gemstones rare witnesses of Earth's history.

A ruby of this kind not only appears visually powerful but is also traditionally associated with vitality and inner strength – a subtle yet harmonious accent that further emphasizes the stone's aesthetic presence. Whether for collectors of high-quality raw crystals, enthusiasts of Burmese gemstones, or as an extraordinary single piece for a special display case: this ruby combines rarity, character, and an impressive natural radiance.
