ICA Gemlab: Springtime Splendor

April is the month that marks the beginning of spring in many parts of the world, and it is a time when new growth and renewal are in the air. This makes it the perfect month to celebrate the beauty and symbolism of Emeralds, the gemstone that is closely associated with the spring season.

“Estrela de Fura” Set to Appear at Auction

The 55.22-carat Estrela de Fura, the largest ruby ever to appear at auction, will go under the hammer at Sotheby’s New York on June 8. Its high estimate in the Magnificent Jewels sale is more than $30 million, which would challenge the current world-record price for a ruby at auction.

The polished stone came from a 101-carat rough that Dubai-based colored-stone miner Fura Gems unearthed last July in Montepuez, Mozambique. The ruby’s name means “Star of Fura” in Portuguese.
