Item Description

Gorgeous blood-red, partially gemmy ruby crystals on this remarkable, extremely rich small cabinet from Jegdalek. The beautiful, juicy stepped-growth crystals are set on all sides of the spare marble matrix. The striking, large, sharp, pseudo-octahedral crystal on the bottom is 2.6 cm, VERY LARGE for the locale. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection. This is a classic, important and exceptionally rich small cabinet ruby specimen with fine color and a large crystal from the locale. It simply looks "ruby" for color and luster, in a way that many specimens simply cannot do with impact. This exquisite piece has several fine display views. Cherry-red fluorescence. Valued at $4500 easily, whether it goes for that here or not. The fluorescence is simply breathtaking, as a bonus. NOTE: In LED lights (the video), these look more pink-red. IN room fluorescents (the photos), more classical red. In Sunlight, sort of in between. Ruby like this has different color in different warmth of lighting.
