Item Description

A classic specimen of rich purplish-red colored hexagonal Ruby crystals with minor schist coating on the exterior. The color is strong and captivating. The specimen is actually doubly-terminated and nearly a "floater" as I can only see a small point of attachment. Larger than most I've seen from this locality, and if you collect Rubies, birthstone minerals or Russian minerals, don't miss out on this one.
