6.09 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Mozambique

This heart shaped, translucent ruby from Mozambique weighs 6.09 carats, and measures 9.76 by 10.18 by 6.19 millimeters, presenting a warm, vivid red that is immediately attractive. Cut as a cabochon, the gem shows a smooth domed surface and an excellent polish that highlights its silk like texture and color saturation. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very slightly included, which adds natural character without distracting from the stone s deep, even tone. The heart silhouette is well proportioned, making this piece a romantic and wearable center stone for a pendant or signature ring, and the vivid color intensity ensures it stands out whether set in warm yellow gold, rose gold, or contrasted with a subtle halo of diamonds in white gold. The ruby has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement that improves tone and clarity, and its origin in Mozambique speaks to its modern, high quality source, reflecting recent finds that produce richly colored material.

At The Natural Ruby Company we appreciate the unique appeal of a cabochon heart that combines classic symbolism with robust, wearable beauty, and we are happy to advise on mounting options and custom settings to best showcase this 6.09 carat treasure. For daily wear, we recommend protective bezel settings or slightly raised prongs that shelter the edges, and cleaning with warm, soapy water and a soft brush to maintain the polish and luster. Avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature shocks, and store the piece separately to prevent abrasion against harder stones. If you would like a formal report, additional imagery, or assistance with design and pricing, our team is ready to help, and we can arrange secure shipping and appraisal services to meet your needs. This ruby is an elegant, emotionally resonant choice for a special gift or a personal heirloom, and we at The Natural Ruby Company look forward to helping you bring it into the perfect setting.
