This transparent 2.41 carat cushion shaped ruby presents precise proportions at 10.15 x 7.17 x 3.33 mm, exhibiting a mixed brilliant cut that marries a faceted crown optimized for scintillation with a pavilion geometry designed to preserve intense body color. The mixed brilliant faceting generates lively pinfire and broad flash scintillation, while the excellent polish delivers crisp facet junctions and minimal surface diffusion, producing sharp light return. Color reads as pinkish red with vivid intensity, providing a saturated appearance face up without veering into overly dark tones. Clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, indicating internal features that are visible on close inspection yet do not obscure the gem's transparency or diminish its overall visual impact. The stone has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance color uniformity and reduce certain silk inclusions, a widely accepted practice for rubies that improves stability and wearability. The combination of the shallow profile and the mixed cut yields a strong face up presence relative to its carat weight, making this specimen particularly well suited to rings and pendants where table size and color impact are primary considerations.
When compared to historic benchmarks, this Mozambique ruby offers its own compelling value proposition. It carries the vivid chroma associated with celebrated Burmese pigeon blood rubies in terms of saturation, while remaining distinct in its slightly pinkish red hue and modern cut dynamics. Unlike classic Mogok stones where depth and diffusion can create velvety darkness, this stone favors immediacy of color and scintillation similar to gemstones that achieved fame for lively face up fire. In the context of famous rubies such as the auction notable Sunrise Ruby, which commanded premiums for size and ideal pigeon blood tone, this 2.41 carat piece performs as a more accessible, wearable alternative that still communicates vivid color and collector appeal. For buyers who seek an expertly cut, transparent ruby with documented origin and treatment, this gem from Mozambique represents an excellent balance of technical execution and visual presence.
