Ruby is corundum's rarest expression — the same mineral as sapphire, yet transformed by chromium into a stone of such commanding presence that it has historically commanded higher per-carat prices than any other gem on earth.
This 2.63 carats Ruby of Purple-Red moderately strong hue from East Africa was selected for the Skyjems Archive not as an afterthought, but as a deliberate acquisition. Unheated rubies of genuine pigeon-blood saturation are among the rarest objects on the planet. East Africa's gemstone corridor is one of the planet's most geologically productive regions, yielding tanzanite, tsavorite, ruby, and sapphire of world-class quality.
