2.04 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This Bellerophon certified Red, two point zero four carat cushion shape ruby measures seven point one five by six point five two by four point six four millimeters, and comes to you from Mozambique via The Natural Ruby Company. The stone is transparent, faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, and displays a vivid color intensity with an excellent polish. Clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not materially affect transparency or visual performance to the unaided eye. The gem has been heated with residue, a disclosure that Bellerophon certification confirms together with the weight, measurements, and origin. Heating is a widely accepted and stable enhancement in rubies, and the presence of residue is noted for full transparency, which allows a knowledgeable buyer to assess relative market value with confidence.

The cushion outline combined with a mixed brilliant facet scheme is deliberately chosen to enhance both color saturation and light return, and the proportions of this stone further support that intent. With an average girdle diameter around six point eight three millimeters and a depth of four point six four millimeters, the depth falls in a range that encourages strong internal reflection while preserving the vivid red tone Mozambique is known for. The mixed brilliant cut places brilliant style facets on the crown to maximize scintillation and step or modified facets on the pavilion to reinforce color and depth, producing a balance of fire and saturated hue. The excellent polish allows light to enter and exit without diffusion, enhancing crispness of facet junctions and overall brilliance. For the educated buyer, this combination of vivid color intensity, transparent material, considered proportions, and skilled cutting yields a ruby that reads as both visually impactful and technically sound. The certified origin from Mozambique is relevant because that region consistently produces highly saturated rubies that command attention in the market. When considering durability, optical performance, and certification, this two point zero four carat cushion ruby represents a rational choice for collectors and connoisseurs looking for a well documented, visibly striking gemstone, and The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the description and provenance of this gem.
