Item Description

Attractive, sharp hexagonal Ruby crystal set within a Quartz vein in a Phlogopite Schist. The redwood-colored, 2.3 cm Ruby has exceptional form - rarely do you find such a sharp, uniform hexagonal prism. While not gemmy, this is a nice reference specimen. Very good red fluorescence.
