Jegdalek, Sorobi District, Afghanistan Since ancient times, the famous ruby mines of Jegdalek produced this precious gem desired by ancient rulers. Remarkably, today there are still a few parts of the deposit that remain and can be mined for specimens. This present piece is a superb natural ruby crystal in matrix, showing sharp form and deep color. When backlit it positively glows a vibrant rich red hue. The crystal is large at approx. 4 cm in size, and very dominant for a matrix ruby. An important specimen with an excellent provenance, rare in this size and quality, fit for any top collector. Offered on a custom-fitted Lucite base. Measuring 8.5 x 7.0 x 3.0 cm (3 ¼ x 2 ¾ x 1 ½ in)
