In terms of clarity, this ruby stands out with a grade of very slightly included, assessed expertly at eye level. This classification highlights a stone that, while not entirely devoid of inclusions, presents a near flawless appearance to the casual observer.

The concentrated saturation of color in this ruby is reminiscent of the most prized specimens, demonstrating a deep vibrancy that adds a touch of regality to any collection. The distribution of color throughout the stone is both uniform and enchanting, providing a consistent aesthetic that only enhances the stone's overall allure. This saturated and even coloration is particularly desired in rubies, as it is indicative of a gem's quality and can significantly influence its desirability.

The polish of the ruby is of excellent quality, further underscoring the superior craftsmanship that The Natural Ruby Company is known for. A fine polish serves not only to smooth the surface but also optimizes the gem’s interaction with light.
