Deep Red Ruby 2.61 CT | Oval Cut Translucent Madagascar
This 2.61 carat ruby presents a deep, even red that falls in the desirable vivid range, held in a well executed oval mixed cut. The table is proportionate, the crown facets meet cleanly, and the polish is excellent which gives a bright internal glow for a translucent stone. Clarity is outstanding for corundum at this size with only minute internal features visible under magnification. The tone is medium dark, saturation is strong, and the stone shows the expected weak pleochroism of chromium colored ruby.
Madagascar has produced rubies only since the late twentieth century, with deposits around Andilamena and Vatomandry becoming known for fine color. The geology is metamorphic and marble associated which favors chromium rich material capable of strong red without brown. Larger stones over two carats that combine vivid color with high clarity are uncommon because most crystals are fractured or silky from rutile. Securing a clean, well cut 2.61 carat example from Madagascar remains rare, and the supply from the most productive workings has been inconsistent for years.
Fully certified for authenticity and quality, comes with a sensory experience that you won't forget. Don't miss your chance to own this stunning piece of earth wonder.
