Product Description
This 46-gram natural ruby crystal on matrix was mined from the high-altitude deposits of Hunza, Nagar, Pakistan — a region that has produced some of the world's most nice corundum specimens.
The ruby sits naturally embedded in its white host matrix, displaying the classic trigonal crystal form of corundum. The body color is a rich pink-red — warm and saturated without any artificial enhancement. Under UV light, it responds with a strong fluorescence, a reliable indicator of natural, untreated Pakistani ruby. Its dimension is 55 × 35 × 20 mm.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can ruby crystals on matrix increase in value over time?
Yes — untreated, well-documented ruby specimens from high-provenance origins like Hunza tend to appreciate as collector demand grows and fine natural material becomes scarcer. Matrix presentation adds additional display and rarity value compared to loose stones.
Q: How do I tell if a ruby specimen is truly untreated without a lab certificate?
Strong natural UV fluorescence, unaltered surface texture, and visible growth features within the crystal are reliable field indicators of an untreated ruby. For investment-grade pieces, a GIA or GRS lab report provides definitive confirmation.
Q: What's the difference between a ruby mineral specimen and a facet-grade ruby?
A mineral specimen is valued for its natural crystal form, matrix, and scientific or aesthetic integrity — it's kept as-is for display or collection. Facet-grade ruby is evaluated for cutting potential, clarity, and yield; the two serve entirely different markets and are priced on different criteria.
