4.40 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This exceptional Mozambique ruby from The Natural Ruby Company is a rare find in both size and color, a transparent 4.40 carat pear shape that measures 11.36 x 9.23 x 5.26 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes sparkle and an excellent polish that gives it an immediate visual presence. In the current market, rubies combining this carat weight with a vivid pinkish red hue are scarce, most stones this large either leaning toward darker pigeon blood tones or showing deeper purplish overtones, or they are significantly more included and lifeless. Compared to smaller commercial rubies and heavily treated or glass filled stones, this gem stands apart because its transparency and vivid color intensity create a depth and fire that cheaper alternatives cannot reproduce. The clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, which is typical for natural rubies of this size, and these inclusions often act as fingerprints of origin, confirming its natural character and adding to its uniqueness rather than detracting from its aesthetic.

For buyers who understand value, this ruby represents a superior proposition versus many market options, offering a size that commands attention while retaining a lively pinkish red color that reads vibrant in daylight and lamplight alike. Origin Mozambique gives it a modern provenance associated with robust color and accessible pricing compared to historical sources, and heat treatment has been applied, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color without compromising the gem s integrity. When compared to Burmese rubies of similar appearance that fetch premiums for rarity of origin, this Mozambique stone often offers better value per carat while still delivering the vivid intensity collectors desire. Its pear shape and mixed brilliant cut make it ideal for a striking solitaire ring, an elegant pendant, or a bespoke piece that showcases its size, and The Natural Ruby Company stands behind the craftsmanship of our selection, offering transparent information and guidance so you can choose with confidence. If you are seeking a genuinely rare large ruby with bright pinkish red color, substantial presence, and an excellent polish, this stone is a compelling choice that outperforms many comparable market offerings in both visual appeal and value.
