Patrick Bellati, the Managing Director of the company exposing the record-breaking ruby was happy to finally unveil the stone: “This is a rough Ruby from Tanzania, it’s 8,400 carats, It’s not heated, what I mean by not being heated is not been treated. So it’s natural and that’s why it’s precious. We’re going to auction it, but before the auction for the next 30 days, we’ll be actually travelling Dubai in different locations where everybody can see it. Because it’s important to show that it really exists. You can Google these images, but you’re not sure whether they are real or not.”
