At 23.1 carats, the Carmen Lucia Ruby is the largest faceted ruby in the U.S. National Gem Collection and one of the finest faceted Burmese rubies known. This natural ruby possesses a combination of outstanding characteristics. Besides its large size, this extraordinary gemstone displays a richly saturated homogenous red color, combined with an exceptional degree of transparency. The stone was mined from the fabled Mogok region of Burma in the 1930’s. While sapphire, emerald, and diamond gems weighing hundreds of carats exist, high-quality Burmese rubies larger than 20 carats are exceedingly rare.
