Yuanyang (Yuenyang), Honghe, Yunnan Province, China
Large Cabinet	24.5x11x4cm	1363g

The color of the ruby ranges from bluish pink to deep red, the size of the aggregates reaches up to 2cm. Usually opaque to translucent, smaller xls can be partially transparent. A combination of mechanical and etching preparation techniques was used to facilitate good exposure of ruby and graphite, yet preserving the natural appearance of the marble matrix. From a less known location in southern Yunnan province on the northern end of the ruby bearing zone that runs across the border with Vietnam.
