This beautifully framed rubellite of intense hot pink measures 11 x 5.5 x 2 cm, and looks like it is popping out of the matrix, as if appearing magically from the other side. Just really neat aesthetics, like none I have seen before. I think the pics say it all...I'll only add that it is eyepoppingly brighter and more colorful and more lustrous in person. This is an older specimen, though fresh out of a private collection where it has resided since being found in 1998 (this was, by all regard, one of the best "hot pink" pockets found and remains so noted).
