1.71 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Born from the heart of Mozambique, this ruby began its journey deep within ancient metamorphic rock where heat and pressure slowly concentrated chromium to paint the stone with its striking red hue. Local miners in Mozambique have for generations unearthed these gems from river gravels and shallow pits, carrying forward a tradition that links land, labor, and craft. The origin matters, because Mozambican rubies are known for their vivid color intensity and ability to achieve remarkable size, qualities that collectors and connoisseurs prize, and so the story of place becomes part of the gem itself. At The Natural Ruby Company we celebrate that provenance, because a gemstone that can trace its roots to a specific mining region brings with it geological context and cultural resonance that add tangible and emotional value.

This particular stone is a GIA certified, transparent red ruby, weighing 1.71 carat, faceted into a classic round shape with dimensions of 7.02 by 6.95 by 4.22 millimeters, and given a mixed brilliant cut to balance fire and depth. Evaluated at eye level it carries a clarity grade described as very very slightly included, its vivid color intensity and excellent polish revealing every facet with lively sparkle. The ruby has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that optimizes color and clarity while preserving natural origin, and the accompanying GIA report documents its authenticity and measured properties. From extraction to cutting and polishing the stone passed through skilled hands, where lapidaries shaped its proportions to capture light and to emphasize the rich red tones characteristic of Mozambique. When set in a ring or pendant this 1.71 carat gem commands attention with saturated color and balanced brilliance, offering a wearable connection to its birthplace. We prioritize responsible sourcing and transparent transactions, and our team can provide the GIA report and additional imagery upon request. This ruby is ready to be placed into a custom setting or a timeless classic, transforming geological history into an heirloom ready to be passed along. The Natural Ruby Company stands behind this ruby with full disclosure and certification, and we invite you to experience the stone in person to feel its warmth and to appreciate the story it carries.
