0.88 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

From a seam of ancient soil in Mozambique this ruby began its story, resting for eons as chromium tinted mineral deep beneath the earth, until the careful hands of local miners coaxed it free and sent it on a journey to light. At The Natural Ruby Company we trace that path with respect, and this little heart shaped gem carries the memory of its origin in every curve. It arrived as a small rough crystal with a promise of warmth and life, and our cutter listened to the stone to reveal its true character. The result is a translucent 0.88 carat ruby, heart shape, cabochon cut, with dimensions 5.03 x 5.15 x 3.58 mm, a pinkish red tone with intense color intensity, and an excellent polish that gives the surface a warm lustre. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is slightly included, a natural fingerprint that tells of the conditions under which this gem formed, and there is no enhancement, so what you see is pure nature refined by skilled hands.

Imagine this heart set as the center of a petite pendant held close to the skin, or cradled in a bezel on a ring where the cabochon profile will catch soft light and reveal subtle internal glow, a gem that speaks without the need for faceting. The smooth domed form makes it ideal for wearable art that is both durable and emotive, and the intensity of the pinkish red will complement both cool and warm metals. We at The Natural Ruby Company invite you to consider the story this ruby carries with it, a tale of Mozambique earth, expert cutting, and a final polish that brings the heart to life. Because it has no enhancement you are embracing an honest gem, and our team can advise on settings and care to maintain its surface and color for years to come. If you are seeking a small but meaningful treasure that connects you to the land and the hands that shaped it, this heart shaped cabochon ruby offers a rare, intimate expression of nature and craftsmanship.
