This is a another great piece of North Carolina “Catseye” Ruby Rough. It weighs 44.5 carats.These magnificent stones polish up to a red violet to reddish purple, and have a light pink or light purple glimmer of dancing lights just blow the surface that is similar to the lines of a tigereye gemstone. These are simply magnificent as cabochons, as pendants, or cut for rings and bracelet charms too. They even look great faceted. This one is perfect for cutting because of its naturally cubed shape.

You won’t be dissapointed with your purchase. Unlike buying a Ruby of unknown color and quality from some other country and taking the risk of getting heat treated or dyed rocks, or even fake or man-made gemstones; these are from the dirt of a mime right here in the United States. This mine is known for its beautiful high quality gemstones including Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds, Amethyst and more.
