This gemstone was graded and valuated at R 183 056.00 (US$ 22 885.00) by an independent, qualified gemmologist (GIA / GEC certified) as recognised by the South African jewellery and insurance industry. It was also tested and certified by the Hung Gemological and Testing Centre in Thailand. The highest bidder will receive the original appraisal certificate, as well as the HGT certificate of authenticity.

Ruby, the red variety of corundum, is the most expensive gemstone after diamonds. The distinctive rubies of "pigeon blood red" colour from Burma, especially from the Mogok mines, have the highest value. Spicemens over 5 ct, as well as eye clean stones, are very rare. Heat treatment is usually applied to improve colour and remove small inclusions.
