2.10 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This GRS certified vivid red Pigeons Blood ruby offered by The Natural Ruby Company is a transparent, cushion shaped gem weighing 2.10 carat, with exact dimensions of 8.93 x 6.23 x 4.08 mm. The stone is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, delivering a controlled balance between table reflection and pavilion fire, and it carries an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and facet definition. Clarity has been evaluated as slightly included at eye level, indicating small internal characteristics that do not materially detract from the overall visual impact when set. The color intensity is vivid, the red saturation is strong and pure, and the specimen has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for rubies. The reported origin is Mozambique, a source noted for producing richly colored rubies in recent years, and the listing is accompanied by GRS documentation confirming identity and treatment.

When compared to more common gemstones, this ruby distinguishes itself through the combination of deep, pure red bodycolor, high transparency, and well executed cut. Compared with diamonds, which exhibit higher refractive index and greater fire due to stronger dispersion, this ruby does not compete in spectral scintillation, but it surpasses most diamonds in color depth and presence, offering a saturated visual warmth that a colorless stone cannot produce. Compared with sapphires, which are the same species corundum and therefore similar in optical performance, the vivid Pigeons Blood red is rarer and more visually commanding because the human eye registers the intense red as a more dominant hue. Compared with emeralds and many green gems that commonly exhibit strong inclusions and lower transparency, this ruby provides superior clarity and light transmission, resulting in a cleaner, more luminous appearance. Compared with spinel and garnet, which can approach similar colors, this ruby benefits from corundum hardness and facet retention, combined with the recognized cachet of the Pigeons Blood designation. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes return of light into the viewer, while the excellent polish ensures crisp facet edges and consistent light play. For collectors and connoisseurs focused on color quality and long term durability, this Mozambique ruby represents a rare synthesis of vivid hue, refined cutting, and transparent clarity.
