Item Description

Superb intergrown pair of Ruby (corundum) from Limpopo, South Africa (formerly labelled as being from the Transvaal). The tabular, hexagonal crystals are well-formed, and the intersection of the two crystals is at just such an angle as to create a very dramatic look. The translucent Ruby crystals are a dusty-rose color, and have a rich, cherry-red fluorescence. This is one of the finer and more impressive (in every respect) clusters that I have seen from Limpopo. From the noted historic classics collection of Richard 'Dick' Hauck of New Jersey. 160 grams.
