0.38 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

The 0.38 carat oval-shaped purplish red ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company stands as a quintessential example of stunning natural beauty combined with exceptional craftsmanship. With dimensions of 5.21 x 4.54 x 1.64 mm, this gem exemplifies a delightful proportion that maximizes its visual impact while still maintaining elegance and poise. The gem is sculpted using a mixed brilliant cut, a sophisticated facet pattern choice that effectively blends the best properties of step and brilliant cuts. This technique emphasizes the fire and brilliance intrinsic to this magnificent ruby, allowing for an interplay of light that captivates the viewer from every vantage point.

A key aspect of this ruby is its intense color intensity with a distinct purplish-red hue, which is particularly regarded for its rarity and depth. This intense saturation not only enhances the visual appeal of the gem but also underscores its unique personality. The color owes much to its geological origins in Mozambique, a location celebrated for producing rubies with vibrant tones and exceptional clarity. Although the clarity has been assessed as very slightly included at eye level, this level of inclusion is practically negligible, serving to add character to the gemstone without detracting from its overall allure. Indeed, these subtle inclusions authenticate its natural origin, appealing to connoisseurs who hold such characteristics in high esteem.

The craftsmanship that has gone into the cutting and polishing of this ruby is undeniably first-rate. An excellent polish ensures that every facet is smooth and reflective, amplifying the natural brilliance of the stone. This outstanding polish perfectly complements the mixed brilliant cut, allowing the ruby to reveal a remarkable play of light that is both fiery and elegant. The detailing in the cut refracts light throughout the gem’s surface and interior, creating a dynamic visual experience that is nothing short of mesmerizing. From any angle, this polish showcases the ruby’s inherent beauty, elevating it to a piece of art.

The Natural Ruby Company prides itself on offering gemstones that meet the pinnacle of quality and this ruby is no exception. Our rigorous selection process guarantees that every aspect of each gemstone—be it color, cut, clarity, or carat—is scrupulously evaluated and chosen for its superior attributes. This particular ruby, with its unmatched combination of facets, vibrant color, and exquisite polish, represents not just a purchase but an acquisition of a legacy of natural art.
