Item Description

Juicy, pretty pink and white, blocky ruby crystals to 2.1 cm are jauntily perched atop a craig of starkly contrasting, glassy, light gray marble on this very aesthetic specimen from Mogok, Burma. The color and luster of the rubies is very pleasing to the eye. Minor contacting on the side/back is mostly out of sight. Classic and beautiful material. Very little new material is coming from Burma, as a result of the trade embargo.
