Comment: Block buster neon hue not often found in African ruby (definitely on the wild side). Reminding of Namya intensity. Big AIGS report. A set of needles give the gem just the right amount of individuality but do in no way disturb (I couldn't resist to zoom them from different angles under 'more images'). This ruby shows a giant 2+ carat face (without see-through window though, only a tone change in center). The handshots capture color intensity well, without being distorted by the violet (and violently glowing) fluorescence effects on the camera. Almost 8x6mm from a one carat gem.
