153ct Natural Mauritania Unheated Ruby Rough Parcel Lot, 97EV
This raw parcel of Mauritania ruby rough features vivid magenta-purple crystalline ruby hosted within contrasting pale quartz and mineral matrix. Irregular unpolished specimens display exposed ruby zones embedded within host rock, showcasing natural crystalline texture, mineral veining and raw geological features of the deposit. Each piece retains its natural unworked form with characteristic matrix material and native surface details. These rough specimens are well-suited for lapidary cutting projects, mineral specimen collections, and lapidary assessment for cabochon or faceting yield. Mixed free-form shapes provide material for custom gemstone production and collector display purposes. Mauritania yields ruby rough noted for rich magenta-purple colour zones within quartz-rich matrix, sought by rough gemstone collectors. Largest piece measures 22x15 mm.

Any stated dynasty or period attribution is provided for reference only. Bidders must satisfy themselves regarding age, material and authenticity. The absence of a reference to a defect does not imply the lot is free from damage or restoration. No warranty, express or implied, is provided.
