Discover the significant heritage and beautiful color of this magnificent 2.30-carat Natural Ruby, a truly exceptional stone sourced directly from the storied mines of Karnataka, India. This commanding gemstone features a large presence, cut into an elegant Rectangle Step Cut with dimensions of 7.5.
The Signature of Karnataka: This ruby exhibits the characteristic color range specific to its origin: a striking hue of deep pink to majestic magenta. The stone is semi-transparent, a feature that beautifully diffuses light and highlights its natural, inherent beauty and genuine structure.
A Stone of Magnitude: At over 12 carats, this is a truly large gemstone, perfect for an heirloom-quality ring or a central pendant that demands attention. Unlike the more classic red of its Mozambique counterparts, the magenta tones of the Karnataka Ruby offer a unique, rich color profile valued by collectors seeking regional distinction.
Astrological Significance: Ruby (Manikya) is the gemstone of the Sun in Vedic astrology. It is revered for empowering the wearer with passion, leadership, authority, and prosperity. This natural stone from India carries the weight of history and powerful metaphysical energy.
