0.87 ct Red Ruby - Pear

This 0.87-carat ruby is cut as a pear measuring 7 x 5 x 3.1 mm, with a red body color, sourced from Burma.

Ruby and sapphire are the same mineral, corundum; the trade gives the red its own name, and the best of it commands prices few gems can match. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

One of a kind, it exists exactly once; there is no second example to size up or down. It is the rarer object, and the kind of gemstone that becomes an heirloom. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
