4.02 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This Bellerophon certified Red 4.02 carat cushion shape ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is a compelling example of high quality corundum, measuring 10.43 x 7.80 x 4.89 mm with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. Originating from Mozambique, this transparent ruby exhibits vivid color intensity and a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a designation that communicates exceptional visual purity to the educated buyer. The mixed brilliant cut balances brilliant and step facets to maximize both scintillation and depth, while the precise proportions and excellent polish ensure crisp facet junctions and superior light return. This combination of weight, cut, color, and polish makes the stone well suited for a fine center setting, where its 4.02 carat presence can be appreciated in daylight and artificial lighting alike.

From every angle this ruby demonstrates how near flawless quality enhances beauty, because minimal inclusions permit unimpeded passage and reflection of light through the pavilion and crown, producing an even and saturated red that reads vividly across the table and facets. The very very slightly included clarity means that any internal features are small and do not distract at the visual level, so the viewer sees pure color and lively brilliance rather than visible texture. Heat treatment has been applied, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that intensifies the red saturation uniformly without compromising structural integrity. As a durable corundum with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale and a refractive index approximately 1.762 to 1.770, this ruby offers both beauty and longevity. For the informed collector or client seeking a natural, certified ruby with transparent clarity and vivid color, this Mozambique stone, accompanied by Bellerophon certification and offered by The Natural Ruby Company, represents a rare combination of technical gemological quality and aesthetic appeal.
