5 Pieces Natural Ruby 4.14ct Untreated Rough Crystals

Five rough ruby crystals display vivid purplish to violet-pink tones, the color of Madagascar corundum showing clearly through each semi-transparent piece. The stones have a cool, intensely saturated hue that leans more toward purple-pink than classic red - a natural variation in color found within the same deposit. Raw crystal surfaces add a tactile, unprocessed quality, with natural growth marks and crystalline texture on each piece.

Madagascar accounts for the majority of the world's commercial ruby supply, and these crystals come directly from the island's ruby-bearing regions as raw, untreated rough. No heat or other enhancement has been applied, preserving the stones exactly as extracted from the deposit. Semi-transparent rough rubies in this size range are popular for wire-wrap jewellery, raw gemstone collections, mineral specimen display, and crystal-form jewellery design. Strong natural fluorescence under UV light is also characteristic of Malagasy ruby corundum.
