1.70 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This GIA certified natural red ruby weighs 1.70 carat and presents a round outline with a mixed brilliant cut. The stone measures 7.46 by 7.33 by 3.93 mm, and is transparent with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that contributes to the ruby s natural identity while maintaining strong visual brilliance. The stone has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance color and clarity, and its documented origin is Mozambique, as confirmed by the GIA report.

Compared to lab grown rubies, this natural Mozambique ruby offers attributes that are distinct and quantifiable. Natural rubies acquire their color and internal structure through geological processes that occur over millions of years, resulting in unique inclusion patterns and growth features that act as a fingerprint for provenance and authenticity. These natural signatures are verifiable by independent laboratory reports and carry a weight in appraisal and long term value that synthetic material does not typically match. While lab grown rubies provide consistent color and often a lower price point, they lack the rarity and geological provenance of a natural stone. For collectors and for pieces intended to be heirloom quality, the natural origin, GIA certification, and documented treatment of this ruby support its identity and potential for value retention over time.

The Natural Ruby Company supplies this gemstone with full documentation from GIA for clarity, weight, dimensions, cut, polish, treatment, and origin. The combination of a vivid red hue, precise mixed brilliant faceting, and a clarity grade described as very slightly included produces an attractive balance of color and light return suitable for fine jewelry settings. Heat treatment is disclosed and is a widely accepted enhancement for improving the visual qualities of natural rubies. For clients seeking a natural, certified ruby with verified provenance and the characteristic attributes of a Mozambique stone, this example represents a well documented option from The Natural Ruby Company.
