Rare ~ Silky Ruby Trapiche 11.05 ct from Africa
Weight;(11.05)CT
Stone:(Ruby)
Shape:(Hexagonal)
A very rare variety of Ruby with inclusions forming a star-shaped pattern.
First described 1991
Origin of name: Trapiche is the Spanish word for the cogwheel used to crush sugarcane. In this very rare type of Ruby inclusions form a pattern resembling the spokes of a wheel.
Can be confused with: no other gem
Localities: at the time of writing (July 2018) only there are only two known sources. One is in Mong Hsu, Myanmar (Burma), the other in the border area between the two Indian federal states of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Burmese Trapiche Rubies hardly ever reach a weight of 1ct.
From India specimens of more than 70cts are known.
Worth knowing: Indian Trapiche Rubies are currently (2018) mined in two pits. One yields red to dark red specimens, while gems from the other pit are characterized by a distinct purple hue.
The Indian occurrences were discovered somewhat accidentally, while (unsuccessfully) prospecting for uranium ore.

Item was not as described in fact, it was totally different. Seller offered refund for the return of the gem however it would cost me more to send it back then it was worth it.

Pourquoi les utilisateurs se surenchérissent-ils ?
Lorsqu'une enchère est placée, il s'agit du montant maximum qu'un utilisateur est prêt à enchérir pour le produit. Notre système enchérira ensuite automatiquement au nom de cet utilisateur, augmentant progressivement l'enchère pour maintenir sa position d'enchérisseur le plus élevé, jusqu'au maximum spécifié.
Lorsqu'il y a une icône indiquant "Enchère automatique", cela signifie que notre système place activement des enchères pour l'utilisateur en fonction de son enchère maximale. Cela peut donner l'impression que les utilisateurs surenchérissent eux-mêmes, mais c'est simplement le résultat de la mise à jour de l'enchère par le système pour refléter la limite maximale des utilisateurs.
