100 cts - Untreated Ruby - Rough- 20 g

Rubies are one of the most prized gemstones in the world, known for their rich red color and exceptional hardness, second only to diamonds among natural gemstones. This listing features 100 carats of untreated, rough ruby material weighing 20 grams, which indicates that these stones are in their raw, natural form directly from the earth. Untreated rubies have not undergone any enhancements or heat treatments, making them especially valuable to collectors and gem enthusiasts who prefer natural, unaltered stones. Rough rubies display a range of hues from deep crimson to pinkish red and often require cutting and polishing to reveal their full brilliance. Historically, rubies have been associated with passion, protection, and prosperity, and they continue to be highly sought after for use in fine jewelry. Their formation typically occurs in metamorphic rocks under high temperatures and pressures, resulting in their distinctive crystal structure and vibrant color. Collectors may value rough rubies for their natural beauty as mineral specimens or as material to be expertly fashioned into gemstones.
