Ruby, the red variety of corundum, has long been treasured as one of the most coveted gemstones and fine mineral species. The specimens offered here are sourced in particular from Pakistan and Afghanistan, where well-formed crystals display deep, glowing colors with striking transparency and form. Classic occurrences from Myanmar, as well as other localities worldwide, add to the diversity of this category. Collectors value ruby specimens not only for their intense red hues but also for the prestige and rarity associated with this legendary mineral.
