This 1.68-carat ruby is cut as a marquise measuring 11 x 5.1 x 3.8 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. It is heat-treated, the common and honest preparation for most sapphire and ruby on the market, disclosed on every listing.

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.
