Raw Burmese Ruby – 152.35 ct – Completely Natural (Unheated) In auction, a magnificent and imposing specimen of rough ruby from the legendary Myanmar mines (formerly Burma), the cradle of the world's finest rubies. This exceptional crystal boasts an extraordinary weight of 152.35 carats (30.50 grams), a carat weight decidedly rare for a natural ruby from this provenance. The mineral presents with a vibrant and intense pink-red / magenta coloration, showing spectacular reaction and fluorescence when exposed to a light source (as visible in the auction photos).
