Huge! UNTREATED! 16.18ct violet red Mozambique Ruby!

This is an amazing unheated example. Sourced from the Montepuez district in Mozambique, this huge ruby exhibits a violet red hue with rich saturation and a semi-opaque opaque body that enriches its color palette while still allowing it to glow in brighter lighting. It has a classic emerald cut with a glistening superior luster, and measures 11.4mm x 10.7mm x 10.1mm. And with a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10, this elegant ruby is perfect for wearing now, and for generations to come.
