As a collector, you may love these lower grade pieces of rough Ruby. Technically, as these are not a gem grade, they are considered to be 'red Corundum' - however, we know what you'll have searched to get here...
These are definitely not cutting grade, and the lower grades may be a
very dark browny-red, almost black. The grading system we use for them
is internal only - its purely in relation to the
quality of material we possess. There is no wider 'standard' for grading
of material like this. Grade A in this instance just means the best material we have currently. It isn't facet quality!
You may notice these stones do tend to show off the hexagonal shapes common to Corundum (Ruby, Sapphire, etc).
