Item Description
The Rubies from Jagdalak are among some of the most well known and superbly crystallized Ruby specimens around. This specimen features a handful of rather sharp, lustrous, purplish-pink color crystals on a contrasting white marble matrix. The largest crystal measures 7 mm long. The crystals are not at all opaque as the majority of these specimens tend to be, and one of them is actually kind of gemmy. 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. Ex Paolo Matioli Collection.
