Share two no treatment rubies from Jegdalek Afghanistan, one 3.2ct and the other 4.2ct. The 3.2ct has a very bright red without any bad tones, and the 4.2 ct one has a very slight purple hue.
The Afghanistan ruby is the same as the Burmese ruby,It crystallizes on the marble bedrock, so it looks very similar to the Burmese ruby. It has a strong red fluorescence reaction under UV light.

Compared with Burmese rubies, the main stone of this ruby ring is Burmese ruby 3.1ct, the color is very good, but heated.
