From the mineral rich soils of Mozambique these two round red rubies began their long journey, born under immense heat and pressure that gave them their signature vivid color intensity, they were carefully recovered by local teams who know how to respect the land and the stone, each rough crystal was selected for clarity and potential, then entrusted to the cutters favored by The Natural Ruby Company for shaping, the cutters chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance face up color with scintillation, the final dimensions of 5.85 x 5.80 x 3.03 mm and 5.86 x 5.79 x 3.07 mm were achieved through patient faceting, the pair now weighs 0.83 carats and 0.86 carats respectively, the clarity was evaluated at eye level as eye clean, the polish is excellent, and a careful heat treatment was applied to stabilize and intensify the color while preserving the inherent character of the stones, the result is a matched pair that speaks of geological time and human craft, a natural origin story from Mozambique that lives in every facet.
