1.93 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

At The Natural Ruby Company this 1.93 carat cushion shaped ruby began its journey deep within the metamorphic terrains of northern Mozambique where skilled miners identify pockets of corundum by visual and tactile assessment, then extract rough crystals with controlled, low impact methods to preserve crystal integrity. From the mine the rough was transported under documented chain of custody to a regional sorting facility where experienced gem sorters evaluated color saturation and crystal form. The selected piece demonstrated an unusually even red hue and sufficient size to yield a fine faceted gem. The rough was then released to a master cutter who planned the cut to balance weight retention with optical performance, and whose work was informed by The Natural Ruby Company quality standards and traceability records.

The finished ruby is a transparent 1.93 carat cushion measuring 7.31 x 7.03 x 4.13 mm, faceted with a mixed brilliant cutting style that combines crown facets optimized for fire and pavilion facet geometry designed for return of light. The cutting produced a gem with intense color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade when examined at eye level, attributes that together produce visual depth and lively face up presence. The polish was executed to an excellent standard, resulting in crisp facet junctions and a smooth surface that enhances luster. The stone underwent routine heat treatment to improve color uniformity and remove internal silk that could otherwise impede light transmission, a widely accepted enhancement in ruby trade practice. Treatment details are disclosed and documented by The Natural Ruby Company as part of our commitment to transparency.

Prior to market presentation the ruby was evaluated using standard gemological protocols to confirm weight, measurements, cut style, clarity observation, and treatment disclosure, and provenance documentation linking the gem back to Mozambique was included with the parcel. The result is a gemstone that combines natural origin, professional cutting, and responsible disclosure, suitable for use in a fine bespoke setting or as a collector quality piece. The Natural Ruby Company provides the supporting documentation and condition assessment that enable confident acquisition, and the gem is offered with clear specifications for designers and purchasers who value traceable origin and consistent craftsmanship.
