A fine specimen of corundum var. ruby featuring a well-formed crystal aesthetically positioned on a clean white matrix. The ruby displays a rich pink color with a small, attractive touch of pyrite attached, adding character and visual interest to the piece. Under UV light, the crystal exhibits a strong fluorescent response, enhancing its overall appeal. The contrast between the vivid ruby and the bright matrix is striking, making this specimen highly displayable. Ruby, a prized variety of corundum, is celebrated for its vibrant color and natural beauty, and this example presents both with great charm.
