This pinkish-red treasure, with precise dimensions of 4.71 x 3.91 x 2.96 mm, is masterfully cut with a mixed brilliant pattern, enhancing its innate beauty and brilliance. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade of this ruby is very slightly included.

Mozambique rubies have become prestigious in the gemstone world, increasingly favored for their rich colors and superior durability. Their distinct hue tends to showcase a more balanced blend of pink and red, akin to some Thai rubies, while maintaining the captivating vivid saturation reminiscent of the much-sought-after Burmese varieties. This particular gem’s striking color is further enhanced by an excellent polish, which ensures its natural shine is fully realized, catching the light wonderfully and creating a mesmerizing visual experience.

The origin of a gemstone often adds layers to its story and value, and the provenance of our ruby is indeed significant. Hailing from Mozambique, a renowned region for producing some of the world's finest rubies, this gemstone shares its realm with the likes of the legendary gem fields of Myanmar and the illustrious sources in Thailand. Mozambique is known for large, high-quality krug, often displaying clarity and color characteristics that are on par with, or in some cases, surpassing those found in more traditional ruby sources. This certainly makes it a worthy investment for any educated buyer looking to add a piece of genuine art to their collection. At The Natural Ruby Company, we take pride in the origin stories of our gemstones, underlining their authenticity and prestige.
