***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Corundum var. Ruby with Pyrite

Cascade Canyon, San Gabriel Mts, Los Angeles Co., California

3.88cm x 3.16cm x 2.28cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

An amazing example of ruby corundum from this seldom referenced California locale!!! We recently acquired a few specimens from this location that represent the BEST specimens yet recovered from a single, isolated find!!! This specimen was among the best in the lot (and one of the largest as well)s!!! For the locality this is an EXCEPTIONAL specimen!!! This specimen in particular was quite unique - being decidedly pink, unlike the others which are almost always purplish-red!!! The crystal measures over 1cm and is perfectly perched on a well balanced matrix!!! There are also a few other crystals in association, as well as a tiny pyrite crystal!!! The crystals have marked translucence, sharpness, and luster - absolutely remarkable quality for the locality!!! A killer California ruby indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 12th!!!
