“5.1 x 4.3 x 3.2 cm. A gorgeous and rarely seen association specimen of the lesser known but fine quality ruby specimens from the Chumar Mines in Nepal. This piece not only features sharp, lustrous, rich pinkish-purple hexagonal crystals of ruby, but they are associated with chrome green crystals of fuchsite (a variety of muscovite mica) sitting on golden-brown phlogopite mica matrix. The piece comes with a label from the famous and recently deceased mineral dealer, Larry Conklin.
