Corundum var. ruby - marble quarries Prilep, North Macedonia
Ex. Collection Robert Scheck

Breathtaking, intensely colored ruby in a particularly pink color. Rubies from Prilep are known for their typical pink color, but it is extremely rare for this to be so pronounced. In addition to the color intensity, the sharp-edged crystal impresses with a size of 4 cm and an unusually good shine.
The dolomite marble near Prilep contains numerous calcite veins with idiomorphic corundum and rutile crystals.
Flawless and impressive collector's piece from Macedonia.
