1.38 ct Red Ruby - Oval

This 1.38-carat ruby is cut as an oval measuring 7.9 x 6 x 3.1 mm, with a red body color, sourced from Mozambique.

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. Mozambique's Montepuez district is the most important ruby find of the modern era, and supplies much of today's fine red. It is heat-treated, the common and honest preparation for most sapphire and ruby on the market, disclosed on every listing.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
