Please note when viewing high quality gemstones on the net there are certain limitations:

Most monitors display images at varying dots per inch (dpi) and are not color-corrected.
GIF and JPEG formats compromise quality.
Netscape and Internet Explorer browsers can only "see" 216 of 256 colors.

Since every system, browser, and monitor is different, we don't know if what you and we see are the same.

NGC Comment: We remember when 3.5 Thai rubies traded for over $15,000 per carat in 1981. You can buy one of these stones today at an over 80% discount from the all-time highs. The color is a "fire engine" red. The MI1-MI2 clarity is difficult to see because the red color is so intense. High brillancy and good depth. If you have always wanted a 70% red ruby, but could not afford a Burma gem, this is an interesting alternative.
