Huge Ruby 560 carats | Africa | Gemstone Cutting, Performing, Faceting & Polishing

- This ruby, with its wine-colored hue, originates from South Africa. The massive rough stone weighs 560 carats and has been expertly cut into various stones, yielding a 33% overall yield.
We carefully examined this rock and determined to split it in half along the middle. This way, we can select the superior portion to craft a stone table.
Carved the stones into oval, cushion, and emerald shapes as per the specific requests from clients eagerly awaiting their customized pieces.
We apologize for not capturing the entire process in the video; We aimed to create a concise clip

I love something natural like this ❤
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Sangat cantik nya indah
I found a39 carat ruby very similar to this in Franklin North Carolina about 18 years ago. It made a nice set of earrings and a pendant. Not clear crystal but nice color.
Interesting! would like to sale that
This kind is the only one that makes star shappire crazy people.

@@Rafique_DiamondHello, I have a natural ruby weighing 50 carats, it is pure and the light penetrates it. I want to sell it.
Go to Propst Farm in North Carolina, found 2 rubies over 100 carats. $40 to dig all day.
That is extremely labor intensive! The stones are beautiful!
Thank you so much lori ☺️
excellent job! there will surely be satisfied customers there
Thank you so much 😊 Nosvo! Yeah we have many satisfied clients who trust we sell only natural stones
Wow amazing beautiful mind blowing ruby I love stone hunting I have found agate gems crystals treasure kohsulman
Thank you so much 😊 great to hear that you do gem hunting
Wish you best of luck in your gem hunting 💐
I have one exactly the same, with green crystal inlusions (jade), but three maybe four times the size, i think from Myanmar, bought in Laos. Just sitting on a sunny windowsill now. I'd never cut it, but I'm thinking about sculpting something maybe, possibly a pedestal for a quartz piece. I like the chinese tradition of carving where you do the absolute minimum cutting / carving in order to preserve the natural form of the material.
Woww great collection. Yeah your idea is good to carve those rocks but if you can share a video we can give you a suggestions
@@Rafique_Diamond upload? ... ok good idea ... and thanks !! ... stay tuned

Most welcome 💕❤️💕💐💐
It's starting to look beautiful!
Yeah thank you so much 😊❤️
Beautiful ❤
Thanks 🙏🏻
@Rafique_Diamond 💜
It's so pretty 😊
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻
It's so hard to even fathom the first person to find a raw ruby and think, "Wonder what this would look like if I cut it up and shined it?" There was no electricity back then, so the artistry would take even more effort. This is amazing to me!
It really is incredible to think about! The skill and creativity needed to transform raw stones into beautiful gems without modern tools is truly impressive.
Nice pieces
Thank you so much 💐
Ready to steal the show😊
Thank you so much 💖 ❤️
Sir ek help chahiye, which polish powder do you use ? Need help
Diamond powder 02
Do any have any idea how much per carat cost the rough?
Apparently 2000 USD per kg rough stone rate
Стоимость всегда неоднозначная - всё зависит от размера(веса) , чистоты , цвета и качества огранки.
Как видите на примере этого красного камня - это корунд , но не прозрачен , значит не рубин - его стоимость на добыче в отвалах может варьироваться от нуля и до 50-ти долларов за кг. Но если этот камень , что в руке был бы прозрачным это был бы фурор в мире и стоил бы десятки , а то и сотни миллионов долларов. Если этот камень имел бы звезду (эффект астеризма) то десятки тысяч долларов. А так это просто поделочный камень корунд.
По алмазу или если по бриллианту если алмаз в один карат стоимость от 10 -150 долларов , если 5-ть карат - от 2500 до 5000 долларов , 10 карат от 20000 до 50000 долларов и так далее все ещё зависит от формы , веса , чистоты , цвета ..
Если он бесцветный то и от рыночной политики как и у золота. Надеюсь ответил на ваш вопрос .
It's Azim work I really appreciated ❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😊❤️💐
Nice work
Thank you Mr. Roger 💐
Gorgeous gr8 job!!!
Thank you so much ☺️
My friend, where is the link to your online store. So i may purchase some.
Hey! The website is mentioned in the profile but not much variety is posted there. It would be great if you can contact me on WhatsApp or Instagram. I have mentioned a link in my TH-cam profile 💐
🎉🎉🎉 very nice 👍👍👍
Thank you very much
Corundum, not ruby
I also doubt when buying but lab report declared this ruby ☺️❤️
HI could you tell about how much one you cut there may be in price $? for usa around about ? thank you for reply
Hey if you are asking about faceting stone cutting charges
Rates for under 4 carats stone after cut is USD 13/- each stone
For cabochons as you see in this video @ USD 1 per carats
African Ruby is not expensive nor very glaring like one coming from Myanmar or Panjsher (Afghanistan).
Yup agreed 💯
Greetings, greetings, greetings to you, respected teacher🎉❤🎉❤
Greetings from Pakistan 💐 thank you Elena 😊
I have one about that size and maybe one bigger then that from the usa out of georgia i even have a bag full of ruby but can't find a place to sell them let alone have them checked to see how valuable they are though some are so dark red light don't go all the way through
It seems like you have a great collection of rubies. Do you get cut any of them? I have some clients who specialize in rubies. If you'd like, we can discuss further on WhatsApp - the link is in the TH-cam profile.
should try a cab it looks like a star ruby
Yess iron exactly but we just cut this piece and make ruby star on other rocks
Beautyfull ruby stone ilove this❤
Thank you so much 😊
Most of the final cuts show signs of asterism. Why didn't you cut these stones for stars?
Good observation! Asterism can add unique beauty to stones. I didn't cut them for stars because I wanted to preserve their natural shape and size.
Wows extremely hand skills 👏
❤ amazing
Thank you Bilal ❤️😊
Amazing.
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful piece! Where did you buy that rough ruby? I would love having one in my mineral collection.
Thank you 😊. I bought from my friend who get this from Africa
I have 20 kg lot
Wow can you show us please
@@Rafique_Diamond I have 5 kg myself while working in Africa brought to india I want to sell
Great what’s price per kg
Can anyone please help me !! ?? What is he looking for when he shines the light into the stone ? With corundum ( Ruby ) I’d check mine with black lights ?!!
It just enables you to see the stone more clearly so you can get an idea of what you are working with.
Thanks for truly explained 🙂🌹💐
Yeah she well explained 🙂
Man, do be careful, that blade is moving fast and you must focus on the sharp edges of that cutter, look at where your fingertips rest, your moving your fingers around, when you twist that rock, its just a rock, don't get caught up in the gem just to lose your fingers.
Thank you for your thoughtful and kind comment. We'll certainly exercise extra caution during the rock-cutting process.
Hello, those Rubies need to be cooked at high temperatures and will take on a transparent color. Rubies also melt like glass and they are placed in metal cylinders to melt at high temperatures and then they are removed from the mold before they stick to the metal, this is how they do it in Indonesia, or they wrap the stones in aluminum foil and throw them onto a hot coal for a couple of hours.
Never thought of heat treating them, but it makes sense.
@@panzerlieb Hello, yes, in Indonesia if I remember correctly they collect raw Rubies sand, even without color they look like normal quartz, but they discovered that Rubies melt like glass, they put them in metal tubes and they give them temperature to melt those sands, and then from those tubes they obtain some beautifully Italian red cylindrical bars, and they sell them in pieces or bars to jewelers, it's incredible.
That’s an interesting method! High heat definitely brings out the clarity in rubies. The aluminum foil technique is a cool approach too!
Hi do you sell your jewellery in the UK,can you tell me where if you do thanks x
Hey! Yess gemstones supply line would be available there but jewelry is difficult to supply there but still possible. We Can give you contact with a business partner there in the UK
Hi can gete you rubie if you want to buy
The beginning is awesome. Let's see the final outcome
Thank you so much 😊. Cut many pieces from this rock but could not add all.
گم یاقوت کی کوئی قسم لگتی ہے؟. کیا خیال ہے آپ کا۔
@@Rafique_Diamond❤
Yes you are right - quiet opaque but you know after heat treatment it would be good nice red colour
The final finished product shall undergo heat treatment?. Crystal lattice improvement, I think.
Very good ❤❤
Thank you so much 😊💐
Nice
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻
@Rafique_Diamond welcome
That background music says it all. "buy this at thy own riskth."
😂😂😂 you so funny 🤣🤣🤣
Mera pass bhi bahut jayada hai aisa stone but aisehi pada hai isko kaha aur kaise bhechna hai tell me some suggestions gys..
Please come on WhatsApp
I have one exactly the same, with red , but three maybe green the color, i think from Ethiopia, bought in Laos. . I'd never cut it, but I'm thinking about sculpting something maybe, possibly a pedestal for a quartz piece. I like sell it
Can you please share on WhatsApp
Nice minerals
Thank you so much 🙏🏻
@@Rafique_Diamond your welcome
I have got similar rough but after cutting outcome is really bad
The cut should be cabochon then the stone could be a star sapphire rather than faceting it into an unclear stone.
The faceting was intentional to bring out the stone's unique characteristics. Every cut has its own appeal!
To all the people in the comments saying “that’s not ruby” “that is bad ruby” the only ruby you have ever seen are the fake ones made of glass to the point you don’t have a good image of what a real ruby is
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻❤️for supporting ☺️. Yeah people like crystal rubies which are usually fake or treated. Natural good quality rubies almost rare
X ray finishing with long work may be the priority for making charges
True, X-ray finishing takes time but it’s worth it for precision
African Rubies ate opaque,I have one...
African Rubies are opaque, I have one..
Ahan interesting We would love to see if possible
What is the estimated dollar value of these rubies?
Approximately 25 usd per carats
Thank you does not seem much considering the grinding work. I have a slice maybe about half as big as this one.@@Rafique_Diamond
After cut if you got a stone without cracks then will worth usd 25 per carats approximately
Can I see that slice
I do not know how to post an image to youtube@@Rafique_Diamond
Why didn't they look for a star? Material with that type of cloudiness screams "check me for asterism!"
Yes we made few star ⭐️ rubies from this. And on few pieces we could not get star so we do Faceting on them
For me that was not really worth the effort. I would prefer one very tiny clear gem to no matter how many carats of vaguely reddish mud.
I see your point! Quality over quantity definitely matters.
Star ruby 👍💚 change to star👍
Yup we have made few with star ⭐️
Aku mau tanya sesuatu...
darimana kau mendapatkan batu itu...dari sungai atau gunung kah .?
Precious stones hidden in mountains we get after mining ⛏
@@Rafique_Diamond apakah di dapat dari tanah yg berpasir di gunung..?
@@mamaykomariyah1212 yes possible! However, finding gemstones requires knowledge of the local geology and often involves careful examination of the soil and rock layers

I bought a violet star ruby 30 years ago, it's 340 carat
Awww that must be amazing 🤩😍
Is bautiful rubby how much if yiu want to buy
Ruby gemstones from Africa cut to a large size like this. Selling price in Thailand: 1 dollar/carat In the Chanthaburi gem market
Wow 🤩 interesting
This ruby that you see here can not be cutting because its inclusions is not strong enough ,there are a lot of cracks. Therefore, it must be done using heat treatment and filling the cracks with various chemicals. To make the gems hard enough to be polished.
Gemstone Market in Chanthaburi, Thailand, open on Fridays and Saturdays. Current prices for pink rubies faceting , on average, for all sizes, are as follows:
1. Transparent ruby with lead glass filled is 1 dollar per carat.
2. Ruby gemstone transparent type, bismuth glass filled is 2.5 dollars per carat.
3. Translucent ruby with silica glass filled , 5 dollars per carat.
4. translucent ruby gemstone, glass free , 7 dollars per carat.
You should choose to buy gemstones that have the results of a X-ray fluorescent machine, which can take the gems to be examined at a laboratory in this gem market. In order to get the type of gemstone you want. Which you can buy in large sizes and in large quantities, such as 100 kilograms.
I want to take training because we have gemstones
Yeah sure do WhatsApp let's discuss
That quality should have been made into star rubies
Yup agreed and few got few in star but we make less height stones into FaceTing and few FaceTing stones were on demand
I have found nearly 100k carats of this type of ruby, I call them pink sapphires because they aren't "pigeon blood" dark red but still a nice deep pink. I live at the foothills of the Appalachian mountains in the United States and make cabochons out of them. Some I keep rough and wire wrap them if they have decent clarity
Yes I also in doubt but the lab declared these are rubies and usually such kind ruby go for heating to make it red. Moreover, can I see your rubies
Nice!
Thank you! Cheers!
I though ruby is shining stone but this one like any other rock
Yup this ruby doesn’t having good clarity but having good size of ruby in wine colour. Also can be red after heating
That’s how the world works it doesn’t just become shiny and beautiful immediately those are cartoons stuff
