0.91 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

The ruby in question is a masterful example of the extraordinary natural wonders produced in the storied mines of Mozambique. Boasting an impressive 0.91 carats, this gemstone exhibits an emerald cut that enhances its innate brilliance and depth. The emerald cut, characterized by stepped facets, creates an interplay of light and shadow deeply cherished by connoisseurs. As it capitalizes on the stone's shape to produce hall-of-mirrors effects in the central facets, the emerald cut gives this ruby a regal, yet understated, appeal—the kind of timeless elegance that discerning purchasers of fine gemstones appreciate.

Its dimensions, 6.86 by 4.64 by 2.73 mm, set off the stone’s fetching red hue gloriously. In the world of gemstones, refined cuts bring forth the best colors from within the material, and this ruby is no exception. The emerald cut highlights its vibrant red coloration, tethering it to the rich, nearly vermilion hues typical of the esteemed Mogok rubies. Unlike stones that lean towards warmer tones with orange undertones, this ruby from The Natural Ruby Company presents a color grade that does justice to its vivid color intensity—something that collectors with a finely honed appreciation for color variance will undoubtedly recognize.

The clarity of this ruby, graded as very slightly included, represents a balance between authenticity and perfection that many in-the-know buyers seek. Although minor inclusions are present—detectable only under close inspection and not detrimental to the stone’s transparency—the clarity levels allow the ruby's natural beauty to shine unhindered. These subtle inclusions can be seen as the stone's own unique fingerprint, hallmarking the inherent geological processes that fashioned its creation. At the same time, these minute internal features in emerald cut rubies rarely impact the reflection of light, allowing the vivid hue of the gemstone to appear even more notable in its rare transparency.

In delivering an excellent polish, every facet of this stone has been meticulously finished to a mirror-like luster. The expertise required to bring out such luminescence cannot be understated and stands as a testament to The Natural Ruby Company’s commitment to superior craftsmanship. The polish substantially contributes to both the light refraction within the gemstone and the silky touch of its surface. Amid comparisons, this ruby captivates with its flawless finish, standing shoulder to shoulder with those from illustrious origins like Burma or Thailand, yet originates from mystery-rich Mozambique, which adds an exotic allure that enamors buyers seeking something slightly different.

Beyond presenting a stellar technical profile, this ruby encapsulates the romance of Mozambique's vivid landscapes and storied heritage. This confluence of sophisticated cutting practices and natural, untamed beauty directly informs the ruby’s timeless charm. Such gemstones don a narrative woven through ages, merges origins with cutting brilliance, and offers purchasers from The Natural Ruby Company an experience far beyond transactional value—a direct link to the earth’s ancient, treasured artistry waiting to be discovered and appreciated.
