0.67 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This 0.67 carat oval ruby from Burma, Myanmar offered by The Natural Ruby Company stands apart from ordinary rubies with a vivid red saturation and exceptional polish that immediately signals premium quality. At 6.08 by 4.10 by 2.99 mm the oval shape balances presence and wearability for rings or pendants, and the mixed brilliant cut is deliberately chosen to enhance optical performance. Compared with traditional step cuts or heavily included material, this ruby retains transparent clarity graded slightly included at eye level, which preserves both depth and internal light play. Heat treatment has been applied in a controlled manner to enrich color and clarity, a standard enhancement that elevates the natural beauty without compromising the stone, this makes the gem an excellent value relative to untreated stones with inferior cut or lower color intensity, and the combination of origin, cut, and finish provides a look and performance that outshines many market alternatives.

The unmatched sparkle of this ruby is a result of its intrinsic crystal structure and the skillful facet design of the mixed brilliant cut, corundum has a strong refractive index and a dense hexagonal lattice that bends and retains light more effectively than many other gem species, the presence of chromium produces the rich red hue while allowing light to penetrate and reflect from numerous internal facets. The mixed brilliant cut uses a brilliant style crown with precise star and kite facets to produce lively scintillation, while incorporating step like pavilion facets to channel light back through the table for deep color and fire, this dual approach delivers both immediate sparkle at movement and sustained color saturation when viewed face up. Slight inclusions create micro surfaces for additional light scattering, which can enhance sparkle in a way that sterile, flawless stones sometimes lack. For buyers comparing options, this ruby offers a superior balance of vivid color, expert cutting, practical size, and market respected Burmese origin, a combination that makes it an outstanding choice for an heirloom piece or a signature commission.
