5.80 Ct. Star Ruby from Mozambique

This striking semi translucent 5.80 carat oval red star ruby measures 12.29 x 10.37 x 4.12 mm, and presents a classic cabochon cut that showcases a sharp six rayed star across its curved surface. The gem exhibits a vivid color intensity with a rich red tone that glows from within, while the semi translucency allows light to interact beautifully with the internal structure. Excellent polish enhances the surface luster and the moving star is highly visible under direct illumination, producing a dramatic asterism that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Technically this ruby is graded clarity included evaluated at eye level, and the visible silk and internal features are responsible for the pronounced star effect that makes this material so desirable. There is no enhancement, the origin is Mozambique, and the oval outline and cabochon profile have been finished to emphasize the star alignment and symmetry. At 5.80 carats this stone is substantial for a star ruby, and the dimensions provide a comfortable scale for rings, pendants, and unique bespoke settings. The excellent polish and vivid hue mean the gem will read as lively in both classic and contemporary jewelry designs, and the natural asterism offers a focal point that changes with movement and light.

At The Natural Ruby Company we are pleased to offer this unenhanced Mozambique star ruby to clients who appreciate natural character and rarity, and we can provide additional imaging and condition details on request. This is an ideal choice for someone seeking an authentic collector piece or a signature jewel that stands apart from heat treated and filled stones, and we can discuss setting recommendations to preserve the cabochon profile and star visibility. For care we recommend gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water, avoiding ultrasonic or steam cleaners due to the internal inclusions, and secure professional setting to protect the dome.
