5.01 Ct. Ruby from Mozambique

This GRS certified, vivid red, 5.01 carat cushion shape ruby from Mozambique offers an exceptional combination of size, color, and clarity that sets it apart from most rubies available on the market. Measuring 12.57 x 8.74 x 4.24 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, this stone delivers intense saturation and lively light performance that competing stones often fail to match. The clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to the viewer while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its authenticity. Heat treatment is disclosed and stable, which is the industry standard for improving color and clarity without compromising structural integrity. Compared with many smaller or heavily included rubies, this 5.01 carat cushion ruby presents a rare opportunity to own a collector quality gem that balances eye appeal and technical excellence, making it immediately suitable for high end jewelry and presentation pieces.

From an investment standpoint, rubies of this quality and provenance have historically shown strong potential for appreciation, due to a combination of rarity, sustained demand, and their cultural and historical desirability. Mozambique has emerged as a major source of vivid red rubies, offering colors and qualities that rival traditional sources at more accessible price points, and as supply tightens and collectors seek larger, top color stones, premium examples such as this are likely to command increasing interest. Certification from GRS enhances market confidence and liquidity, as buyers and resellers can verify origin, treatment, and quality. As part of a diversified gemstone portfolio, or as a standout single asset, this ruby from The Natural Ruby Company represents a sound choice for those focused on long term value, because the scarcity of large, vividly colored, eye clean stones tends to drive a steeper per carat premium over time compared to more common gems. If you are seeking a gemstone that offers immediate wearable beauty and meaningful investment potential, this Mozambique vivid red cushion ruby is a compelling and prudent option.
