Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of ruby from California!!! This specimen host an extraordinary showing of
ruby crystals for this rare, seldom referenced locality!!! The crystals are unusually fine for the locality
in terms of size, sharpness, color, and clarity!!! This specimen hosts numerous significant crystals scattered
about the matrix!!! The crystals range in size to nearly 1.2cm!!! The
crystals have sharp, lustrous faces and a rich purplish red hue with marked translucence!!! This specimen
came from a single large boulder that produced a number of the finest specimens from this rare small
find!!! Upon close inspection there are several other species in association as microcrystals, including fuschite and pyrite!!! This
is a killer example for the locality!!! Don't miss out!!! The pics hardly do
it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
