A NOTE FROM NICK
These 4 Ruby Verdite Polished Display Pieces have a high content of Corundum, which makes them BRIGHT red under the UV and very attractive in normal light. There was only a fairly smallish pocket of this material which we grabbed when it was available from Zimbabwe.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Fluorescent Ruby Corundum in Chrome Verdite – Blood Red Under Ultraviolet Light
Fluorescent Ruby Corundum in Chrome Verdite is a truly rare and mesmerizing gemstone that captivates with its vivid blood-red fluorescence under ultraviolet light. Featuring vibrant ruby corundum embedded within a striking green Chrome Verdite matrix, this material offers a dramatic visual contrast, enhanced by its exceptional UV-reactive glow. Originally mistaken for cuprite-rich zoisite, it is sourced from a scarce and unpredictable deposit, with only a limited quantity ever mined and processed.
