Comment: Here is a neon red ruby of the 'wild' type. Round, 26pt, without window or visible inclusions (lens only), and certified untreated. Intense red, with an equally extraverted purple as faint 2ndary hue. Going on 4mm round thanks to efficient cutting without belly (see side image). Rare combination of strong color and luster in one gem, especially so for rubies. Ring stone for prongs in size 4, better as drop or channel set into the band offering more protection and wider band up to size 6. See luster starting in handshot (more shows only blink on photo). Add full color as shown on wood. No compromises other than in size. All ruby qualities under $1k. Compare with new arrival RRMA015: Also 3Nos but different character in color, would not make a pair in same size.
