Color is a defining trait of rubies in this unique category, and this gemstone boasts a vivid color intensity that is both rare and valuable. A pinkish-red hue often evokes passion and vitality, and the vibrant saturation of this ruby places it among the finest examples of its kind. This vividness is attributed to the presence of chromium within its crystal lattice, creating an intensity that is highly prized. The gemstone's origin in Mozambique further contributes to its allure, as Mozambique rubies are renowned for their rich color palette and desirable transparency. Origin is a crucial detail in assessing a gemstone's pedigree, and Mozambique has established itself as a premier source of desirable and high-quality rubies.

Regarding its clarity, this oval-shaped ruby has been evaluated as included at eye level. This clarity grading indicates the presence of natural inclusions, which serve as identifying factors and affirm the authenticity of the gemstone. While inclusions are part of a ruby’s unique fingerprint, they do not detract from its beauty. Instead, they highlight the natural formation process over millions of years. At The Natural Ruby Company, we care for the natural integrity of each gemstone, ensuring they are responsibly sourced and expertly evaluated to maintain the highest standards of quality.

This ruby has undergone an excellent polish, a factor that cannot be underestimated when considering gemstones of distinction. Polishing is a critical step that involves carefully smoothing out surfaces to enhance light reflection, ensuring that the stone exhibits a superior, mirror-like surface. This exemplary finish takes time and precision, achieved through the optimal use of advanced technology in tandem with experienced artisanship. Such attention to detail guarantees that each stone not only meets but exceeds the expectations for lustrous surface quality.

The durability of this precious gemstone is yet another point of consideration, assessed by measuring its hardness on the Mohs scale. This ruby ranks at a nine, affirming its hardness and resilience. The durability of rubies matches only that of diamonds within the realm of natural stones. This inherent strength guarantees long-lasting beauty and reliability, making it a favored choice for high-end jewelry and design pieces. This measure of hardness is particularly appealing to discerning buyers seeking a gemstone that is both exquisite in appearance and robust in function.
