Description

It's not terribly common to find sharp, well-formed ruby crystals on matrix from any locality.
The specimens from Mysore are some of the best examples of this material, and this miniature sized specimen is a wonderful representation featuring euhedral, lustrous, hexagonal prisms with a strong purplish-red color measuring up to 10mm beautifully sitting on schist matrix Ruby from the Mysore District in India
