2.48 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Burma (Myanmar)

This beautiful translucent 2.48 carat oval pinkish red ruby is presented by The Natural Ruby Company, with a classic cabochon cut and dimensions of 8.85 by 7.11 by 4.02 millimeters, a perfect balance of presence and wearable size. The stone shows an intense color intensity that reads as a vivid pinkish red under natural light, and its smooth domed surface and excellent polish deliver a pleasing reflective sheen. Clarity is graded as included when evaluated at eye level, with natural internal features that give the gem character and depth rather than detract from its visual appeal. This ruby has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves tone and clarity while preserving the natural origin and integrity of the crystal. Hailing from Burma Myanmar, this piece carries the classic provenance collectors and connoisseurs appreciate, and the overall translucency allows the gem to glow softly from within when set in jewelry.

As a salesperson familiar with gemstones I can tell you this ruby will work beautifully as the centerpiece of a ring or pendant, and its cabochon form lends itself well to vintage inspired designs or modern minimal settings where the color is the star. The slightly included clarity creates natural character and a sense of authenticity that many clients prefer to fully flawless stones. For care I recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive tools to maintain the polish and surface luster. At The Natural Ruby Company we are happy to provide additional photographs, exact measured proportions, and guidance on mounting options to ensure the ruby is showcased to its best advantage. If you would like assistance choosing a setting, or if you would like this stone reserved while you consider designs, please let us know and we will gladly help you bring this Burmese cabochon ruby to life.
