0.81 Ct. Ruby from Tanzania

As a representative of The Natural Ruby Company, I am pleased to present a singular treasure that will appeal to connoisseurs of fine gemstones and collectors who demand authenticity and rarity. This is one beautiful transparent 0.81 carat cushion shape pinkish red ruby, a gem whose compact dimensions of 5.71 x 4.80 x 3.00 mm conceal an intensity of color and character that is rare in natural rubies. The mixed brilliant cut has been mastered to balance depth and sparkle, allowing each facet to catch and return light with lively fire. The clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that the gem remains visually pristine to the unaided eye while retaining the natural fingerprint that confirms its natural origin. Vivid color intensity is the defining feature of this ruby, a hue that reads as a rich pinkish red in varied lighting, and it has been presented with an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and tactile smoothness. Importantly for discerning buyers, this ruby has no enhancement, a condition that elevates its desirability and rarity, and it originates from Tanzania, a source known for producing rubies of exceptional character and provenance.

Owning this ruby places you among a select few who appreciate the subtleties and provenance that separate ordinary stones from museum quality examples. The mixed brilliant cut on a cushion shape creates a pleasing interplay between modern sparkle and classic silhouette, a combination that adapts gracefully to bespoke settings and heirloom designs. The excellent polish means that light travels and reflects cleanly from the surface, creating a look of consummate refinement that complements both white and yellow metal settings. The transparent nature of the stone allows the vivid color to breathe and shift as it moves, offering fleeting moments of flame like reflections that make the gem feel alive on the hand. Because this piece is unenhanced, it communicates a true sense of place and time, a direct connection to the miners and craftsmen who brought the rough material from Tanzanian soil to a finished gem of exceptional presence. At The Natural Ruby Company we cultivate relationships with clients who understand that true rarity is not only about carat weight, but also about authenticity, cut, and the story each gem tells. This ruby is a private offering that may not be matched again from our available inventory.

Durability is often the deciding factor for those who intend to wear their gemstones regularly, and on the Mohs hardness scale rubies score a nine. This places this Tanzanian ruby just below diamond, which is ten, and on par with sapphire, which is also corundum and rated nine. By comparison, common gemstones such as quartz and topaz rate lower, making this ruby a superior choice for everyday wear, particularly in rings and bracelets where durability matters. The excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant cut further enhance resilience by minimizing stress points and promoting even light distribution across the stone. While no gem is entirely indestructible, a natural ruby rated nine on the Mohs scale will stand up to daily life far better than many alternatives, offering longevity that suits a piece intended to be worn, admired, and passed down. At The Natural Ruby Company we provide guidance on settings and care that maximize both beauty and durability, recommending protective settings for active wearers and regular professional inspections to maintain the excellent polish and secure mountings. This is a rare opportunity to own a 0.81 carat cushion ruby of vivid pinkish red tone, unenhanced, Tanzanian in origin, and crafted to exacting standards. If you seek a gemstone that confers exclusivity, enduring strength, and a narrative of natural authenticity, this ruby represents an invitation to join an elite circle of owners who value the very best.
