Item Description
The Rubies from the Ampanihy District, are among some of the lesser known but well-crystallized Ruby specimens around. This specimen is a very sharp, well formed, rather lustrous, purplish-red color crystal with prismatic hexagonal form. These specimens have truly risen in price on the market in recent years, and it seems that they are not being found as frequently as they once were, so do not miss out. For the quality, this is one of the best examples of Ruby I have seen from this area.
