1.51 Ct. Ruby from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Millions of years ago, under immense geological pressure and heat, the magnificent purplish-red ruby was formed deep within the Earth's crust. Originating from the renowned gem-rich terrains of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this ruby is emblematic of the mastery of natural processes that create such breathtaking beauty. The transformation of this gemstone involved intricate changes in mineral content and temperature, combined with the slow cooling of metamorphosed rocks. These conditions fostered the crystallization of corundum, known for its extraordinary hardness second only to diamonds.

Our featured ruby, weighing 1.51 carats, captures the imagination with its vibrant purplish-red hue, a testament to the trace element chromium found within its crystalline structure. This particular ruby exhibits a round shape with dimensions measuring 6.80 x 6.64 x 4.12 mm, meticulously fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut. This cutting style amplifies the natural allure and refines the stone's innate properties, optimizing its refractive index to ensure maximum dispersion of light. The result is a beautiful play of red and purple hues visible to the discerning eye.

One of the standout attributes of this ruby is its eye-clean clarity, assessed at eye level, meaning there are no visible inclusions disrupting the vivacious color intensity. Polished to an exceptional standard, the ruby's luster and surface quality enhance its vivid color, making it highly sought after by connoisseurs and collectors. At The Natural Ruby Company, we celebrate the meticulous craftsmanship required to elevate such a natural treasure. Our gemologists have ensured that this gem retains its organic allure while reflecting the absolute excellence in gemstone finishing.
