Item Description

This is a sharp, textbook Ruby crystal from the Mysore district in India. Ruby Corundum crystals had been produced from this locality for decades and went mostly to carvers instead of the specimen market; however, clusters are uncommon and supply seems to have wound down after the early 2000s. Note the fluorescence! This is a great reference example of a ruby, in a great size for most collectors. This is 233 grams of solid, lapidary carving quality ruby, that is also a fine display specimen.
