4.23 Ct. Pinkish Red Ruby from Mozambique

This exceptional transparent 4.23 carat oval shape pinkish red ruby is a rare find from Mozambique, offered with the confidence and expertise of The Natural Ruby Company, and destined to be more than a jewel, it is an emblem of distinction. Measuring 11.93 x 9.05 x 4.32 mm, this faceted gem features a refined mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth, producing a vivid color intensity that captures attention from every angle. The stone presents an included clarity grade evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that imparts natural personality and a storied internal landscape to the ruby, while an excellent polish ensures light dances cleanly across each facet.
