Unveiling Burj Alhamal: A Spectacular 8,400-Carat Ruby Steals the Spotlight in Dubai

In the heart of opulence, a rare uncut gem takes center stage – introducing Burj Alhamal, an extraordinary 8,400-carat ruby recently unveiled in Dubai just days before its highly anticipated auction.

This magnificent stone, weighing a substantial 2.8 kilograms (over six pounds), made its grand debut at a Dubai hotel as part of SJ Gold and Diamond’s Callisto collection. Mined in Tanzania, the Burj Alhamal had been kept away from the public eye until now, adding to its allure.

Patrick Bellati, General Manager at SJ Gold & Diamond, expressed the significance of this public display, stating, "For the first time, we are displaying the gem of the collection in public, and the unveiling of this unique stone to the public is an affirmation of our approach to continuing to bring the most important rare stones around the world to the UAE."

Dubbed as "one of the biggest" rough rubies globally and among the "rarest rubies ever found," what sets the Burj Alhamal apart is its natural state – unprocessed and untreated, adding to its intrinsic value. With an estimated worth exceeding $120 million, this ruby claims its place among the most precious gems in the world.

The Burj Alhamal is set to captivate Dubai for the next 30 days, displayed at various locations before heading to auction post the month of Ramadan. A gem of such rarity and grandeur, its journey from Tanzania to Dubai marks a momentous occasion in the world of exquisite gemstones.

Stay tuned for updates on the Burj Alhamal's journey, as it prepares to find a new home through an auction that promises to be as remarkable as the stone itself.
