4.02 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

Presenting a transparent 4.02 carat oval ruby, measuring 10.22 x 8.66 x 4.80 mm, masterfully cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth. The gem displays vivid color intensity, a saturated true red with slight purplish undertones visible at certain angles, and an excellent polish that maximizes light return. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, indicating minor needle and pinpoint inclusions that do not detract from the brilliance of the gem, and that also serve as natural fingerprint of origin. This ruby is natural with no enhancement, a critical factor for educated buyers seeking untreated material. Origin is Mozambique, a modern source known for producing richly colored rubies with strong saturation and desirable crystal structure. The combination of weight, vivid color, and untreated status increases rarity and resale value, particularly for a stone over four carats in an attractive oval proportion. The mixed brilliant cut, with careful pavilion faceting, allows lively sparkle while preserving carat weight, and the excellent polish indicates precision of lapidary work. For collectors and connoisseurs, the presence of minor inclusions confirms the natural formation process, while the transparency and vivid color intensity make this ruby suitable for high end settings, including solitaire rings and classic pendant designs, where the stone can be appreciated from multiple viewing angles.

A romantic history is woven into the color and clarity of this ruby, imagine a dusk sky over the Mozambique mines when a miner first uncovered a crystal that seemed to hold the last light of sunset. The vivid red evokes the warmth of an exchanged vow, and the very slightly included clarity suggests an honest love that is unperfected yet enduring, each inclusion a small proof of authenticity and a private mark that only a true admirer will recognize. The Natural Ruby Company presents this stone as more than a gem, it is an emblem of passion and provenance, ready to be set into a piece that will commemorate anniversaries, promises, and milestones. For the discerning buyer who values documented origin, untreated material, and superior cut, this 4.02 carat Mozambique ruby offers both emotional resonance and sound gemological merit.
