2.40 Ct. Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

There is a lineage to rubies that traces back through millennia, and this AGL certified gem carries that legacy with quiet authority, from the fabled mines of Burma to the studio of The Natural Ruby Company. We present a transparent red ruby weighing 2.40 carats, cut to an elegant oval measuring 8.98 x 6.93 x 4.67 mm, faceted in a mixed brilliant style that marries classic form with modern optical precision. Its vivid color intensity commands attention while its excellent polish and carefully executed proportions allow each facet to engage light with maximum effect. Evaluated at eye level, the stone is very slightly included, a testament to its natural origins while remaining effectively eye clean to most viewers, and it has been heat treated with residue, a traditional enhancement that improves color stability and depth without compromising the gem's intrinsic character.

Viewed from every angle, this ruby reveals why fine cutting and finish matter. The mixed brilliant faceting creates a lively interplay of brilliance and scintillation, allowing flashes of internal light to dance across the rich red field as the stone moves. The excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and a mirror like surface that draws light in and returns it as depth and fire, so that the gem appears luminous whether set in a ring, pendant, or other heirloom piece. The slight internal features contribute to the stone's story, catching light in ways that underscore its natural origin rather than masking it. Originating in Burma Myanmar, this ruby carries the historical resonance of Southeast Asian gems prized by connoisseurs for centuries, and the AGL certification confirms its authenticity and documented attributes. Presented by The Natural Ruby Company, this ruby is a timeless choice for someone who values tradition, enduring beauty, and the subtle distinction of a gem that is both visually flawless to the eye and unmistakably natural.
