1.51 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This exceptional ruby from The Natural Ruby Company arrives as a rare and singular treasure, a transparent 1.51 carat oval red ruby that speaks to connoisseurs who seek exclusivity. Measuring 8.97 by 6.40 by 2.88 mm, this gem has been masterfully fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining the brilliance of a round style with the elegant outline of an oval, producing proportions that flatter the finger and the eye. Its vivid color intensity is rich and saturated, framed by an excellent polish that allows every facet to speak clearly. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, a testament to the high standard of material while retaining the natural character that collectors prize. Heat treated enhancement has been applied to stabilize and deepen the hue, a customary and respected practice, and the stone is sourced from Mozambique, a region known for producing rubies of remarkable color. We present this gem as part of a limited offering, each stone hand selected for its beauty, rarity, and potential to be set into a bespoke jewel that will be treasured for generations.

The internal structure of this ruby is what grants it an unmatched sparkle, a play of light rooted in corundum crystal physics and elevated by expert cutting. The mixed brilliant cut aligns pavilion facets and crown facets so that light entering the table is guided through focused reflection pathways and returned as intense flashes of red and pink, producing scintillation that is lively and alive with motion. The refractive index of ruby and its subtle dispersion cause flashes of spectral warmth to mingle with the dominant red, creating a depth and fire greater than many gems of comparable size. Very slight inclusions add a three dimensionality to the gem, scattering light in miniature and creating a living glow rather than a flat flash, while the excellent polish ensures those reflections are crisp and mirror like. The precise facet geometry and proportional balance of length to width allow for optimal light return, so this Mozambique ruby appears larger and more luminous than its carat weight suggests. For the collector who seeks an elite and singular piece, The Natural Ruby Company offers this ruby as a rare opportunity to own a jewel whose structure and cut deliver a brilliance beyond the ordinary, ready to be set into a custom design that affirms your place among the few who possess true rarity.
