Description from the seller
This natural ruby on a light matrix impresses with an extraordinary presence despite its compact size. Weighing 3.067 g (15.345 ct) and measuring 1.9 × 1.1 × 0.9 cm, the piece displays a remarkably rich, dense red coloration that clearly stands out from the surrounding host rock.
The ruby is predominantly opaque to slightly translucent and exhibits a clearly recognizable crystalline structure with sharp-edged, well-defined faces. Notably, the high color saturation gives the crystal a strong visual impact even under diffuse light. Under UV light, the ruby shows pronounced red fluorescence, a classic feature of chromiferous rubies, which further enhances the color intensity and underscores the quality of the material.
The light matrix creates a calm, natural contrast and harmoniously frames the ruby, making its color and structure stand out even more. The piece is natural, untreated, and unaltered.
An aesthetically very balanced ruby on matrix, suitable for both mineral collectors and lovers of fluorescent minerals – small in size but strong in expression and color.
Mineral: ruby (corundum) on a matrix.
Weight: 3,067 g / 15,345 ct
Measurements: 1.9 × 1.1 × 0.9 cm
Condition: natural, untreated
Special feature: intense color, strong red fluorescence.
Origin: Pakistan / Skardu
Delivery: from Germany
