10.01 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

From the red soils of Mozambique to the refined display case of The Natural Ruby Company, this ruby tells a story of heat and patience, of nature and human hands working in concert. Formed over millions of years under intense pressure and heat, this transparent, vivid red Pigeons Blood ruby was discovered in a mine where pockets of gem quality material surface in rare moments. Expert cutters recognized the stone has potential for brilliance and proportion, and they shaped it into an elegant emerald cut with a precise step cut geometry. The finished gem weighs 10.01 carat, measures 16.21 x 9.00 x 5.86 mm, and shows an eye clean clarity grade when viewed at normal eye level. A GRS certificate accompanies the gem, documenting its origin as Mozambique and confirming its vivid color intensity, excellent polish, and routine heat treated enhancement that improves clarity and color stability without compromising the ruby character collectors prize.

Beyond its visual drama, this ruby is built to last, making it a superb choice for daily wear in rings, pendants, and bracelets. Ruby ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and its inherent toughness resists scratches and abrasions that everyday life can deliver. The emerald step cut reduces the vulnerability of delicate facets by emphasizing broad planes and structural integrity, and the excellent polish ensures long lasting sparkle while minimizing surface wear. With appropriate secure settings such as a well fitted bezel or protective prongs, the stone will withstand daily use while retaining its pigeon blood glow. At The Natural Ruby Company we pair ethical sourcing with meticulous craftsmanship, and we present this GRS certified, vivid red 10.01 carat emerald cut ruby as a wearable treasure, ready to become the center of a signature piece that can be enjoyed every day and passed down through generations.
