RUBY 1.03CT OVAL 6.0X5.4MM. TOP RED AFRICA
SECURE THIS STUNNING RUBY FOR YOUR LOVED ONE FOR THIS VALENTINE'S DAY
Known in olden times as the "Beryl Island," Madagascar was long considered mineralogical nirvana. And today, it is equally known for its gem wealth.
Previously Madagascar produced mainly fine blue and pink sapphires. But now two important ruby deposits have been discovered. The first is about 10–30 km. inland from the coastal town of Vatomandry, while the second is roughly 45–70 km. from the town of Andilamena. Vatomandry is said to produce the better-quality stone, being lighter and brighter (more reminiscent of Burma), while the Andilamena stone is somewhat darker and not as clean.
Rutile silk seen in some pieces suggests that star stones may be forthcoming. Much of the material from both deposits is heat-treated.
It is still too early to properly rank Madagascar in the ruby world, but the stones seen so far suggest that there is great promise
