0.71 ct Red Ruby - Round

At 0.71 carats, this ruby from Mozambique carries its red color through a round cut, measuring 3.9 x 3.1 mm.

Ruby is the red form of corundum, sapphire's sibling species, and fine examples are among the most valuable colored gemstones per carat. Mozambique's Montepuez district is the most important ruby find of the modern era, and supplies much of today's fine red. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
