3.55CT Natural Afghanistan Ruby
Weight:(3.55)CT
Stone:(Ruby)
Origin:(Afghanistan)
Afghanistan is also known for producing high-quality ruby stones, with the Badakhshan province being the primary source. Located in the northeastern part of Afghanistan, Badakhshan has been a historical hub for gem mining, particularly for rubies and sapphires. These rubies are famous for their rich red color, often described as "pigeon blood" red, which is considered one of the most prized hues for rubies globally.
The rubies from Afghanistan, especially those from Badakhshan, are typically mined from alluvial deposits in the mountainous regions, where they are often found in rough forms that require skilled cutting and polishing to reveal their full potential. Afghanistan's rubies have a high reputation for their clarity and brilliance, making them highly sought after in the global gemstone market.
Like with other gemstones in Afghanistan, mining rubies has been impacted by political instability and security concerns, but the region continues to be known for its exceptional rubies, which are often used in high-end jewelry. Despite the challenges in the area, the rubies from Badakhshan remain a significant part of Afghanistan's gemstone heritage.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
