1.20 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

In the heart of Africa, deep within the rich and rugged terrains of Mozambique, a remarkable journey begins. This journey is fraught with nature's secrets and the earth's mysteries, harboring within it a true marvel, a gemstone forged through time and elemental forces. Nestled beneath the warm soils and ancient stones lies our exquisite 1.20-carat ruby, a testament to nature's artistry and resilience. Cloaked beneath layers of rock and earthen stone, this ruby was formed under intense heat and pressure, emerging to tell a tale as vivid as its hue.

The journey starts with expert mining practices, where skilled hands, trained by generations of tradition, meticulously unearth nature's treasures. Amidst the intricate ballet of silt, soil, and rock, this ruby is discovered; its promise already glowing through its rough surface. The gem is initially an unassuming stone, yet within its core lies the potential of unparalleled beauty. With dimensions of 7.17 x 5.29 x 3.34 mm, its weight of 1.20 carats positions this ruby not just as another gemstone but as a significant piece of Earth's bounty, a singular marvel waiting to be unveiled through our detailed crafting process.

Once discovered, this uncut ruby is introduced to the artisans of The Natural Ruby Company, where human ingenuity and natural wonder intersect. Here, the ruby undergoes a transformation — a mixed brilliant cut designed to reveal its inner fire and charisma, enhancing every facet and contour. This precise craft not only highlights the gemstone's stunning depth and saturation but also accentuates its slightly included clarity grade, capturing imaginations from the barest whisper of excitement to a crescendo of admiration. As light dances across its surface, it tells tales of ancient lands and eternal blushes, embodying a vivid color intensity that captures attention and evokes emotion.

The ruby's journey continues through fire, literally and metaphorically, as it is subject to a delicate heat treatment. This process, part art, part science, elevates its natural color, providing an intensity that is as stable as it is spectacular. This enhancement amplifies its intrinsic beauty, yielding a product of exceptional value and rarity. An excellent polish is applied with scrupulous care, ensuring that the gemstone reflects light in dazzling displays, each glance revealing new wonders of its stunning red hue. This intensive process speaks of more than just labor; it tells of a dedication to realizing potential and honoring tradition.
