Common FAQs about Afghan Rough Rubies
1. Are these Afghan rubies better for faceting or collecting as specimens?
Answer: This parcel is unique and mixed of qualities. The transparent and semi-transparent stones are ideal for cabbing, while the included or larger rough crystals are perfect for displaying as mineral specimens. Collectors often value the natural crystal form and untreated origin.
2. What makes Afghan rubies unique compared to other origins?
