The stakes are high for this truly magnificent jewel. Behold this spectacular 4.44-carat Natural Ruby, a premier gemstone sourced from the legendary, mineral-rich mines of Mozambique. This substantial stone is expertly cut into a classic Oval Mixed Cut and measures an impressive 10.56mm x 7.62mm x 6.16mm.
Mozambique Aventurescence: What makes this ruby exceptional is the subtle, shimmering phenomenon known as aventurescence (or schiller) specific to fine Mozambique rubies. This optical effect causes the ruby to exhibit an intense, internal sparkle and fire under light, dramatically enhancing its natural color and brilliance.
Untreated, Unheated, Guaranteed: This is a collector's prized gem: it is certified as untreated and unheated. The presence of its naturally occurring inclusions are the vital internal fingerprints that testify to the stone's 100% natural origin and guarantee its genuineness.
Gemmological Significance: Ruby is the king of gemstones, a variety of the mineral corundum, and its deep red color is highly valued. Astrologically, it represents the Sun, embodying powerful energy, passion, and the attraction of prosperity.
