Comment: Frequently one must buy a full parcel gems just to get one fine specimen to show for. This is the one that managed receive an excellent and make our '3*Nos class of excellence', with no window, no visible inclusions, and no treatments (perhaps minus some leftover oil from cutting). The parcel certificate will be replaced by a single IGI report, unless you want to take $250 bucks off the list-price. The images make clear this is THE one color, top-fluorescence neon-red with the classic violet silky sheen underneath that makes Burma rubies the top dogs of all corundums. The long oval cut, with a good 5.4x3.6mm face-up, is not a precision work but a solid local hand-cut. Here, more than anywhere else, the main quality factor is color, color and color, and you have a ton of as-good-as-possible color in this ruby. Visible from meters distance. Even 43 points will fill a ladies' ring, slender if solitary, or bigger with a halo set around. Ask us for a design. The extremely strong fluorescence strengthens a pink impression in the images but the gem in person is a pure best Burma red.
