Amazingly rich veins of crystalline and partially-crystalline Ruby coursing through the white marble matrix. The color ranges from ruby red to red tinted by a bit of purple, and where the Ruby crystallizes, the stone is gemmy. In fact, the largest of the Ruby crystals reaches slightly over 1 cm in length and has good luster.
