100% natural sliced ruby slabs - a rare and exotic find! This material is so hard that it took countless hours to cut and drill. Take advantage of this one as it may not come around again!
Ruby, a variety of the mineral corundum, forms deep within the Earth under immense heat and pressure. This intense environment causes aluminum and oxygen atoms to bond together, creating the crystal structure of corundum. The presence of trace amounts of chromium within the crystal lattice imparts the ruby's distinctive red color, ranging from pinkish to deep crimson hues.
