Description
A simply huge, complex, dramatically shaped ruby that looks more like an organism than a mineral specimen! It is large, at 218 grams in mass, and complete all around. This is old material from the early 2000s era of production in Vietnam, not equalled since. Large rubies are rare from anywhere, and these sculptural pieces are unique to this time and place.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
