0.87 Ct. Star Ruby from Mozambique

One beautiful semi translucent 0.87 carat oval red star ruby measuring 5.66 by 4.59 by 3.12 mm is offered by The Natural Ruby Company, expertly fashioned as a smooth cabochon to bring forth a clean and lively asterism. The gem shows vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, with a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions that in this case work to produce a sharp star rather than detract from the gem. This piece is natural and untreated, enhancement free, coming from Mozambique, a source known for producing richly colored rubies with attractive optical phenomena. Under a single direct light source the moving star appears pronounced and well centered, an effect you will appreciate in close inspection and in wear, the combination of semi translucency and silk like inclusions giving the star a three dimensional glow that plays beautifully across the dome.

As a salesperson and gem specialist I recommend this 0.87 carat oval cabochon for use as a striking center stone in a protective bezel setting for a ring, or as the focal point of a pendant where the star can be showcased against direct light. At these dimensions the ruby will read as an elegant, wearable size, ideal for bespoke pieces and collectors who prize natural asterism without treatments. For durability and long term beauty avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners, and limit exposure to harsh chemicals and sudden high heat, cleaning gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush is best. If you would like advice on mounting, certification details, or matching pieces, The Natural Ruby Company is happy to assist with setting recommendations and secure shipping options, our gemologists can provide further illustrated views to confirm the star orientation for your chosen design. This Mozambique star ruby is a fine example of natural asterism, ready to become the centerpiece of a personal treasure that will draw attention and admiration.
