This ruby has an excellent hexagonal formation, with extra crystals growing alongside it. It is complete which is actually hard to find with rubies growing in marble. It has good pinkish with a hint of violet color. No damage.
Rubies found at Sivec Mountain, have been mined for thousands of years. It is a marble mine in the Republic of Macedonia. These aren't on the market regularly. They are highly fluorescent, as shown in the second pic under a long wave lamp. It weighs 5 grams.
