Translucent Pink Ruby 0.87 CT | Oval Cut Winza, Tanzania
A vivid pink saturates this 0.87 carat ruby from Winza. The oval cut is balanced and bright with clean facet junctions and even tone from girdle to center. The body is translucent and shows a fine vitreous luster in daylight. Deep hexagonal growth zoning is clearly visible beneath the table, a natural record of corundum crystallization that adds character while keeping the face lively and open.
Winza in central Tanzania entered the gem market in the late two thousands when artisanal miners uncovered rubies and sapphires in marble related terrains. Output has remained intermittent because the area is remote and access is often restricted, which keeps supply limited. Winza rubies are known for high chromium that produces vivid pink to red hues and a strong red fluorescence in daylight. Distinct hexagonal zoning is uncommon in faceted stones and is valued by collectors because it confirms natural origin and preserves a recognizable fingerprint of the deposit. Stones above half a carat with strong color and attractive cutting are scarce, which makes this 0.87 carat example a noteworthy piece of Winza history.
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.
