A very fine, complete, robust crystal of ruby, and frankly one of the better examples of its size and style we have seen from this important locale. Note the fine trigonal prism patterns on the termination, saturated ruby color, and the remarkable vitreous naturally wet-looking luster characteristic of a good ruby crystal. This is from the noted corundum collection of Will Heierman, of Houston. 32.8 grams
