0.54 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This ruby began its life deep within the earth of Mozambique, where mineral rich veins and the patient movement of geological time conspired to create a gem of rare intensity, The Natural Ruby Company discovered this crystal in a region known for producing rubies with vibrant red tones and a story embedded in each facet. Extracted by miners who know the land and its seasons, the rough stone carried the memory of the soil, the heat of the sun, and the long journey from underground to daylight. Our team documented its origin and selected the piece for its clarity and promise, recognizing within the raw form a balance of color and structure that would respond beautifully to skilled cutting and careful enhancement.

In the hands of an experienced cutter the rough was transformed into a 0.54 carat cushion shape ruby with dimensions 5.39 x 4.11 x 2.59 mm, given a mixed brilliant cut to maximize fire and depth. The gem was heat treated to enhance its natural color, a common and stable practice that releases the ruby s inner potential, and it was polished to an excellent finish that allows light to move freely through the stone. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is very slightly included, details that speak to the gem s natural origin rather than detract from its elegance, and the color intensity registers as intense, a vivid red that captures attention. At The Natural Ruby Company we handle each step with transparency and care, from the mine records to the final loupe grading, so the person who wears this ruby carries not only a beautiful stone, but a traceable narrative. Imagine this cushion ruby as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring or a meaningful gift, its facets telling the tale of land, hands, and craft, and its warm red radiance connecting the wearer to a distant place where heat and time made a jewel.
