4.56 Ct. Star Ruby from Mozambique

This exquisite star ruby from The Natural Ruby Company weighs 4.56 carats, and measures 10.23 x 8.16 x 4.84 mm, oval in shape with a classic cabochon cut that highlights its unique asterism. The gem is semi translucent with vivid red color intensity, and an excellent polish that gives the dome a silky lustre. Under a single point light source the stone displays a crisp star that appears to glide across the surface as the gem is moved, a signature effect produced by fine rutile inclusions aligned within the crystal structure. The clarity is graded included, evaluated at eye level, which means you will see natural internal features that actually contribute to the depth and character of this piece, rather than diminishing its appeal. There has been no enhancement to this ruby, it is offered in its natural state, and its cabochon finish has been carefully executed to center and balance the star for optimal visual impact.

This Mozambique origin star ruby is a rare and wearable collector gem, suitable for a bespoke ring, pendant, or as the centerpiece of a vintage inspired piece, and it will appeal to connoisseurs who appreciate natural asterism and uncompromised provenance. At The Natural Ruby Company we take pride in sourcing stones that combine beauty with integrity, and this ruby exemplifies that commitment with its vivid tone, pleasing transparency, and natural, eye visible inclusions that form the star. If you are considering a mounting, the semi translucent body allows for interesting metal choices that can enhance the perceived color, while the strong polish supports daily wear with minimal maintenance. Please let us know if you would like additional images under different lighting conditions, a video to see the star in motion, or recommendations for settings that preserve the cabochon profile. We stand ready to assist with secure shipping options, custom mounting advice, and any certification preferences you may have, to ensure this distinctive Mozambique star ruby becomes a cherished part of your collection.
