Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific, single crystal of ruby from Burma!!! This specimen consists of a complex single crystal of ruby crystal with a small amount of
an unidentified mineral in association!!! The crystal has a complex, pseudo-octahedral habit with glassy luster and lively pinkish red color!!!
The crystal has marked translucence as well!!! There is a small area on one side of the crystal that hosts a curious box-work of colorless, reticulated
crystals!!! These crystals are colorless and intimately associated with the ruby - they are quite hard and lustrous as well!!! Very curious
upon close examination!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! Ebay Please Note: This item was obtained prior to current trade restrictions with Burma.
