2.59 ct Red Ruby - Cabochon

This 2.59-carat ruby is shaped as a cabochon measuring 8.2 x 6.1 x 4.9 mm, with a red body color, sourced from Sri Lanka.

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 wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement. It comes with an independent laboratory certificate.

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.
