1.02 ct Red Ruby - Oval

This 1.02-carat ruby is cut as an oval measuring 6.5 x 5.2 x 3.8 mm, with a red body color, sourced from Madagascar.

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. Madagascar is a major modern ruby source, giving strong reds at more reachable prices than the classic localities. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

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.
