Item Description
A sharp, gemmy and lustrous, 8 x 6 x 5 mm, beautiful pigeons blood-red ruby crystal is jauntily set atop the marble matrix. This ruby is much gemmier, than the typical Jegdalek ruby. The ruby has over-the-top, cherry-red fluorescence and the band of phlogopite fluorescences cream-yellow. A classic, excellent and uncommon ruby combination specimen from Jegdalek. Ex Herb Obodda dealer stock. Valued by Herb at $500, five years ago before the flow of these stopped.
