2.43 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This exceptional translucent ruby from Burma is a 2.43 carat oval cabochon, measuring 8.95 x 7.20 x 3.81 mm, presented by The Natural Ruby Company. The stone displays a rich purplish red hue with intense color saturation that gives it a vibrant presence whether set in a simple pendant or a classic ring. Cut as a cabochon, the surface is smoothly domed with an excellent polish that enhances the gem surface and allows the internal color to glow from within. Clarity is graded as included at eye level, which is typical for natural rubies from this region and contributes character and depth to the appearance without detracting from its overall beauty. This ruby has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color while preserving the natural origin and structure of the crystal. Origin is Burma Myanmar, a source long celebrated for producing rubies with exceptional color, and this stone reflects that legacy in a compact, wearable size.

For design and care considerations this 2.43 carat cabochon performs beautifully in bezel settings where the smooth dome can be showcased and protected, or in a light open setting that allows light to interact with the stone surface and translucency. The warm purplish red tone pairs elegantly with yellow gold for a classic look, and also provides a refined contrast with white metals for a contemporary aesthetic. As a heat treated natural ruby it requires standard gem care, avoiding sudden thermal shocks and harsh chemicals, and it is best cleaned with mild soapy water and a soft brush. At The Natural Ruby Company we focus on transparent descriptions and responsible sourcing, and we are happy to provide additional photos, measurements, and any documentation on request.
