Item Description

Ruby from Burma is one of the most highly sought after gems in the world. This gem is a real beauty for the size and a highly collectible gem. The stone has some small visible inclusions, but the color is very good and the stone it not at all opaque. The rough for this stone was mined in the 1970's and remained in a basement for a long time until it was cut. These are absolutely some of the best Rubies from Africa, and it seems to be more difficult to obtain them from Mozambique. The high retail value on this gem is $302.50.
