0.74 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the rugged riverbeds of Mozambique to the refined display at The Natural Ruby Company, this transparent 0.74 carat pear shape pinkish red ruby tells a clear and compelling story. Mined by small teams who work the storied alluvial deposits of Mozambique, the rough stone was selected for its intense color and transparency, then sent to our skilled cutters. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize fire and face up size within the gem dimensions of 5.97 by 4.90 by 2.91 mm, and the result is a lively pear form with excellent polish and a vivid presence. During the finishing stages the stone underwent a standard heat treated enhancement, a time honored and discloseable practice that stabilizes and intensifies color while preserving the natural character of the crystal. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is slightly included, a mark that confirms this is a natural treasure with internal features that speak to its origin and authenticity, rather than an overly processed or laboratory grown imitation.

When you compare this ruby to others on the market, its advantages are easy to see. Many commercial rubies in this size range sacrifice color depth or clarity for lower cost, resulting in pieces that look washed out under strong light or that require larger carat weights to achieve visual impact. This Mozambique gem combines intense color intensity with transparency and a meticulous mixed brilliant cut, producing a saturation and scintillation more commonly found in larger stones. Against lab grown alternatives, this ruby offers the irregular beauty and provenance buyers seek, for those who value a story as much as sparkle. Compared to heavily included or poorly polished stones, this example stands out because of its excellent polish and eye visible clarity, which allow jewelry designers to set it with confidence in rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces where light performance matters. At The Natural Ruby Company we prioritize full disclosure, responsible sourcing, and careful grading, and we place this ruby as a superior option for clients who want a real, well finished Mozambique ruby that delivers both emotional resonance and long term value.
