Ruby in Marble Matrix // 3.74 Lb.

The Jegdalek mines have been worked for more than seven hundred years. They are some of the oldest in the world and fine mineral specimens, such as this ruby in marble matrix, are occasionally sourced there. This 1-3/4″ long crystal has good crystallization and a striking color highlighted by the contrast with the white marble. Dusted in flakes of lustrous pyrite, this rarity of a specimen carries the history of the world and mineralogy in its beauty.
