63.72 Ct. Cabochon Ruby from Afghanistan

Presenting a rare and substantial natural ruby from The Natural Ruby Company, a translucent 63.72 carat freeform gem that commands attention. This stone measures 26.00 by 13.40 by 13.70 millimeters, and its freeform shape means there is no standard faceted cut, allowing the intrinsic beauty of the crystal to take center stage. The clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, which means internal characteristics are present and visible to a trained eye, adding character and proof of natural origin. The color intensity is intense, with a strong, vivid red tone and subtle purplish undertones that deepen toward the core. The polish is excellent, creating a silky surface and bright highlights across the domed face. Importantly, this ruby has no enhancement, and its origin is Afghanistan, a source known for producing deeply colored, collector worthy rubies that appeal to connoisseurs and designers alike.

Visually this gem presents as a smooth, highly polished cabochon like freeform, with a pleasing long proportion and gently rounded profile that sits beautifully in the hand and offers remarkable presence when set. The translucency gives the impression of inner depth as light penetrates the surface and subtly illuminates the interior, while the included clarity adds unique internal character that makes this piece unmistakably natural. At 63.72 carats this ruby is unusually large for a top quality natural example with no treatments, and it is ideal for a statement pendant, a bespoke ring for a collector, a museum quality study piece, or a centerpiece in high end jewelry where the organic freeform silhouette can be showcased. The excellent polish enhances the visual flow of the freeform surface, and the intense red color will pair beautifully with warm yellow metals or with platinum for a modern contrast.

As specialists in fine rubies, The Natural Ruby Company is pleased to offer personalized guidance to ensure this stone reaches its ideal setting and owner. For daily care we recommend gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrupt temperature changes, and consulting a trusted jeweler before using ultrasonic or steam cleaners due to the stone having visible inclusions. We can provide additional high resolution images, detailed measurements, and coordinate independent laboratory reports on request, to support valuation and insurance. If you desire a bespoke mounting, our team can advise on designs that respect the freeform outline while securing the stone safely and elegantly.
