1.98 Ct. Pinkish Red Ruby from Mozambique

The Natural Ruby Company presents a transparent, oval shape ruby weighing 1.98 carat, with dimensions of 7.77 x 6.72 x 4.45 mm. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to balance face up brilliance with depth of color, and it exhibits an intense pinkish red hue. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, and the surface shows an excellent polish. The ruby has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that improves clarity and color, and its documented origin is Mozambique.

The slight inclusions visible in this ruby are natural characteristics that function as unique identifiers, adding to the gem both provenance information and individual character. At eye level these inclusions present as fine internal features, often appearing as tiny crystals, delicate silk like needles, and subtle growth related zoning, variations which are common in Mozambican material. These internal markers can assist gemological evaluation, and they contribute to the stone by creating depth and internal life, rather than detracting from its visual appeal. The balance of transparency, intense color, and modest inclusions produces a stone that reads as lively and natural under magnification and to the unaided eye. Presented by The Natural Ruby Company, this ruby is suitable for a refined jewelry setting where its mixed brilliant cut will maximize sparkle while its natural inclusions will remain an authentic fingerprint of formation and origin.
