Item Description

A 2.1 cm sharp, terminated, lustrous, translucent, classic pigeons blood-red ruby crystal is nicely set in the lustrous, granular, gray marble matrix. A bit of pyrite is a super accent. This is a superb piece, with aesthetics and balance, and all the qualities you could want in a ruby from here - overall, a classic and outstanding ruby specimen from Jegdalek. The supply of these dried up a few years ago with the ongoing conflict. Red fluorescence on the ruby is a bonus. Valued at $1500-2000 at least. this is a stunnign specimen...!
