0.94 Ct. Star Ruby from Mozambique

Introducing a beautiful semi translucent 0.94 carat oval pinkish red star ruby from Mozambique, available through The Natural Ruby Company. This gem measures 5.77 x 4.59 x 3.20 mm, and it has been expertly fashioned as a cabochon to best display its classic asterism. The color is a vivid pinkish red with intense color saturation, and the surface shows an excellent polish that yields a lively reflective sheen. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so the gem reads clean and luminous to the naked eye, while its internal features contribute to the striking star effect rather than detract from the overall beauty. Importantly this ruby has no enhancement, it is completely natural and untreated, which is a rare and desirable attribute in asteriated stones from this region. The combination of weight, precise dimensions, and cabochon shaping makes this piece ideal for collectors who appreciate naturally occurring phenomena in gemstones and for designers who seek a strong focal point for bespoke jewelry pieces.

The star itself is sharp and centrally positioned, and it moves gracefully across the dome when the light source or the gem is tilted, creating a dynamic point of focus that is both elegant and mesmerizing. The asterism is produced by fine, oriented silk like inclusions within the crystal, and the cabochon cut has been optimized to reveal a clear, centered star that contrasts beautifully with the vivid body color. Because the stone is semi translucent, there is a depth to the color that allows light to penetrate and enhance the three dimensional appearance of the star, giving the ruby a liveliness that flat or heavily included material cannot match. With its modest dimensions and under one carat weight, this star ruby is versatile for a variety of settings, it will sit comfortably in a delicate ring, a refined pendant, or an accent in an artisanal bracelet, and its dome height of 3.20 mm provides a substantial profile that showcases the phenomenon without overwhelming the design. The excellent polish amplifies the star and maintains a smooth surface that resists dulling, and the very slightly included clarity grade ensures that the visual impact remains pure and striking, while still preserving the natural characteristics that define an authentic star ruby.

As specialists in naturally sourced rubies, The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the provenance and natural state of this Mozambique star ruby, and we are happy to provide additional images and video under directional lighting to demonstrate the asterism in motion. This gem represents an attractive opportunity for both collectors and those seeking a unique center stone that carries the appeal of rarity and natural formation, with no enhancement to alter its original character. For customers considering setting options, a low profile bezel will protect the dome and keep the star visible, while a more open prong design can showcase the depth and color from multiple angles, and we can advise on metals and mounting styles that complement the pinkish red hue. If you would like a formal assessment, we can arrange independent gemological documentation on request, and we offer secure shipping and expert handling to ensure this delicate cabochon reaches you safely.
