Ruby Crystal | Winza, Tanzania

A rare blood-red Ruby crystal from the legendary Winza deposit in Tanzania — one of the world's most coveted ruby locales. Rich crimson hues with warm orange undertones and a stunning natural termination. Exceptionally sought-after by serious collectors.

• Winza rubies were only discovered in 2007, making this one of the newest — and rarest — ruby localities on Earth.
• Ruby is the red variety of corundum (Al₂O₃), ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale — second only to diamond.
• The blood-red color in fine rubies comes from trace amounts of chromium, which also causes the stone's natural fluorescence under UV light.
• Tanzania is home to some of the most significant gemstone deposits in the world, including tanzanite, tsavorite, and now Winza ruby.
