Item Description

The rubies from Jegdalak are among some of the most well known and superbly crystallized ruby specimens around. This fine miniature features a sharp, gorgeous, pigeons blood-red crystal dramatically perched atop contrasting white marble matrix. The crystal measures 7 x 7 x 6 mm across and it is not at all opaque as the majority of these specimens tend to be, as it readily passes light when backlit. Pristine. 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 Herb Obodda dealer stock. BRIGHT fluorescence!
