10.02 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

The featured gemstone, a magnificent 10.02 carat oval-shaped red ruby, represents a pinnacle of craftsmanship and rarity. Originating from the famous gem-producing region of Mozambique, this ruby has been certified by the GemResearch SwissLab, ensuring its natural origins and pristine quality. Measuring 15.71 x 11.86 x 5.53 mm, the dimensions reveal a substantial presence, while the oval shape accentuates its elegance and timeless appeal. This lovely red ruby has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, expertly combining multiple facets to enhance its luster and radiance. Its vibrant color intensity, graded as vivid, displays an extraordinary depth of color unparalleled by many other gemstones. The clarity grade of eye clean guarantees that, when viewed at eye level, this ruby is free from visible inclusions, thus affirming its exceptional purity.

To better appreciate the unique hue and tone of this gem, comparisons can be made with renowned rubies from other famous locations. The classic Burmese rubies are known for their deep pigeon-blood red hue, while those from Thailand offer a slightly darker tone with a touch of brown. In contrast, our Mozambique ruby offers an exquisite clarity and a vivid red hue comparable to rubies from these established regions. However, it is distinguished by its own unique fiery glow, a hallmark of Mozambican rubies, which sets it apart in the spectrum of geographical origins. Its vivid color intensity rivals the famed rubies of Myanmar but with a distinct brightness and visibility that ensures it stands out in any collection. This characteristic radiant red of Mozambique samples demonstrates that the location is becoming an important player in the gem market, offering remarkable specimens like this very stone. Thus, ownership of such a ruby represents not just an acquisition of beauty, but also a piece of an emerging legacy.

The process of crafting a gemstone of such stature involves meticulous attention to detail and the application of advanced techniques by skilled artisans. The mixed brilliant cut used in this ruby involves precision-faceted angles that create an interplay of light that maximizes its brilliance and fire. This cutting style is purposefully chosen to balance the gem's color saturation with brightness, allowing one to fully appreciate its natural hue. Furthermore, the excellent polish achieved on each facet ensures that the stone's surface is flawless, thus optimizing its optical properties and permitting the gem to exhibit a luminous sheen. This dedication to craftsmanship is the hallmark of our product philosophy at The Natural Ruby Company. We are committed to providing an exquisite standard of high-quality gemstones, as evidenced by this extraordinary ruby.
