Notes: It is very rare that I list a stone with the color of vivid, but this is that rare time. This one of a kind untreated ruby from Tanzania was faceted from rough supplied by one of my best sources direct from Tanzania. Neither the photos nor the video reflect the true beauty of this stone. This vivid stop light red is outstanding with incredible brilliance. The stone was faceted with a rare design I named broken moon for it's unusual shape. This will make one heck of a center stone. The stone appears perfectly clean by the eye and with maginifaction you can barely see the silt and one tiny inclusion.
