EDITORS COMMENTS
This breathtaking natural ruby crystal, weighing an impressive 1,085 carats, is a true treasure of the mineral world. Discovered in the famed Mogok mines of Burma, now Myanmar, in the early 20th century, this ruby was acquired by the museum in 1924 from Burma Ruby Mines Ltd. (not the company). As one of the largest crystals in the museum's collection, it showcases the stunning beauty and rarity of this coveted gemstone. The ruby's rich, vibrant red hue is a result of the presence of chromium oxide, making it a member of the corundum group of minerals. Its fluorescent properties, which are particularly evident in this studio shot, add an extra layer of intrigue and allure. The ruby's origins in Southeast Asia, specifically in Burma, have long made it a sought-after gemstone. Its history and significance in Asian culture are deeply rooted, with references to rubies dating back to ancient texts and legends. This natural wonder of the mineral world, with its striking color and unique fluorescent properties, is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world. Its acquisition by the museum over a century ago ensures that future generations can continue to marvel at its splendor and appreciate the wonders of the natural world.
