WOW! Gemmy, magenta-red rubellites sitting in perfect upright position on a white quartz crystal. How many pockets have ever yielded that deepest red rubellite colour? Well, actually only very few, and these rubellites rank among the very best mineral specimens in the world. This piece is indeed a superb miniature from a small and limited find from Sahatany valley, collected in 2015. The pocket was just the size of a football, and only a handful of fine crystals were recovered. This one ranks among the very best rubellites ever found in Africa. 2x professionally repaired, no restoration.

Gorgeous emeralds on mother rock! Two superb crystals are standing in upright position right in the center of a perfectly balanced calcite matrix.
