Formed deep within the Earth's crust millions of years ago, this exquisite gemstone embodies the majestic processes of geological transformation. Our featured gem is a transparent AGL certified pinkish red ruby weighing 1.70 carats. This ruby, shaped into a classic cushion, measures precisely 7.20 x 5.53 x 4.37 mm.

The journey of this ruby began under conditions of intense heat and pressure. Deep beneath the Earth's surface, where extreme temperature gradients favor the formation of corundum, aluminum oxide atoms aligned into precise crystalline structures. These configurations evolved over countless millennia, eventually forming what we recognize today as a ruby. The vibrant pinkish red hue that captivates the observer is a result of trace amounts of chromium, instilling each ruby with its fiery glow. Occasional growth interruptions in these crystals, evidenced by subtle internal inclusions, contribute to unique clarity characteristics. This specific gemstone holds a clarity classification of very slightly included, designated as such when evaluated at eye level. This subtle degree of inclusivity enhances its authenticity, affirming its natural origin.
