One beautiful transparent 3.04 carat oval red ruby, measuring 9.97 x 7.51 x 4.80 mm, presents itself as a rare offering for discerning collectors and connoisseurs, with a mixed brilliant cut that is designed to maximize brilliance and depth of tone. The clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, allowing the gem to maintain a clean window of fiery red without obvious imperfections, and the polish is excellent, lending silky reflections across each facet. The vivid color intensity of this stone communicates vitality and presence, qualities that few rubies in this size bracket achieve, and the stone has undergone careful heat treatment to enhance stability and color, a standard professional practice that preserves the natural character while elevating the gem to a level fit for fine jewelry. For anyone seeking a single, standout center stone that reads as both substantial and refined, this ruby is a rare specimen.

The origin of this ruby in Mozambique is central to its value and story, as Mozambique has become synonymous with some of the most sought after rubies in the modern market, known for saturated hues and material that can rival old mine stones in depth and richness. Provenance from Mozambique adds a layer of desirability because it ties the gem to a specific geological narrative, a relatively young source that has produced fewer top quality, transparent stones of this weight, creating a scarcity that translates into lasting investment potential. At The Natural Ruby Company we curate each selection with provenance in mind, offering collectors and private clients access to single examples that feel bespoke, not mass produced. Ownership of this oval 3.04 carat ruby is entry into an exclusive circle of patrons who value authentic origin, meticulous cutting, and the quiet prestige of wearing a gem that few will ever encounter. For those seeking to commission a piece or to secure a singular treasure for an heirloom, this ruby presents an opportunity to acquire a rare jewel with verifiable story, exceptional visual appeal, and the elevated status that comes with genuine scarcity.
