Item Description
An amazingly rich, 3-dimensional and showy specimen of solid, crystalllized, pigeons blood-red ruby from Nepal. The crystals have good luster and reach 2.0 cm. The tiny bit of white marble is a nice accent. Seldom on the market in anything but single crystals, such rich plates as this are hard to obtain and considered fairly noteworthy. Old material, from the late 1980s so far as I know
