AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Uniquely large, absolutely fiery AA blood-red ruby (natural ruby) weighing 82.13 ct (total weight in matrix).
Approximately 16.42 grams of weight — with the finest ruby crystal! Dark blood red.
3.50 x 2.40 x 1.60 cm
Exclusive very large ruby on matrix – finest crystal red with UV light effect – 16.42 g – Jegdalek Mine, Afghanistan
An absolute exceptional piece for discerning collectors of the finest mineral specimens.
This rare ruby with a prominent, magnificent large crystal originates from the world-famous Jegdalek Mine in Surobi Province, east of Kabul, Afghanistan – one of the most renowned sources of world-class ruby-red gemstones.
Special features of this piece:
Weight: approx. 16.42 grams - 82.13 carats
Crystal size: extraordinarily large-format ruby crystal in matrix.
Colour: an incredibly intense ruby red with a fine pinkish-red shimmer – a colour quality that is unparalleled
Light behavior: Under UV light, it also exhibits a breathtakingly luminous, deep neon red – almost supernatural in its intensity! In natural light under UV (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.
