3.39 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This transparent 3.39 carat oval ruby from Mozambique measures 10.96 by 8.51 by 3.74 millimeters, and presents a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize face-up brilliance and depth of color. The stone exhibits a vivid color intensity, a highly desirable saturation that reads as a pure, strong red under standard lighting, and an excellent polish that allows crisp facet reflections and a lively appearance. Clarity is graded as included when evaluated at eye level, meaning natural internal features are visible without magnification, which is common in fine rubies and often contributes to their character and identity. This ruby is heat treated, a widely accepted and permanent enhancement used to improve color and clarity, and the origin is Mozambique, which in recent years has produced some of the most richly saturated rubies on the market. The mixed brilliant cut combined with the oval shape offers efficient light return while preserving weight, making this specimen appear substantial in the setting without sacrificing fire or scintillation.

For the educated buyer seeking rarity and investment quality, this ruby stands out because of the uncommon combination of size and color. Rubies over three carats with vivid, evenly distributed red saturation remain relatively scarce, especially in a clean, well-polished oval that retains good face-up depth at 10.96 by 8.51 millimeters. Many comparable stones in the market either achieve vivid color only in smaller sizes, or require stronger treatments to reach saturation, so a naturally attractive Mozambique ruby of this size and tone commands attention from collectors and designers alike. The included clarity indicates natural origin and authenticity, and the heat treatment used is industry standard and stable, making the stone suitable for everyday wear with appropriate setting protection. At The Natural Ruby Company we emphasize full disclosure and provenance, and we present this ruby as a rare opportunity to acquire a sizable, vividly colored Mozambique gem with excellent polish and a thoughtful cut that balances brilliance and weight retention. For settings, consider a protective bezel or secure prong design to safeguard the stone, and clean gently with warm soapy water.
