Comment: Top quality color in 7x5mm oval with 'only' 1.19 carat but no window. IGI report with 'Fine color quality' (a rare qualification) and origin Mozambique. GIA graded pure 'red' and 'Mozambique', too (GIA does not do qualification of 'red' like GRS or IGI). The remark about wax is not a treatment (as GIA has assured us) but a residue of the cutting process. Any inclusions are visible only under the lens including a surface reaching fissure. Symmetric face, even if the sideview reveals an uneven back. In such a fine color it is understandable that the cutter worked along the rough's original shape to save as much material as possible. Since he managed to avoid a window, we must give a thumbs-up for a good enough cut. Even more than in many other varieties, color is king and queen in ruby. And, as the images accurately show, this is a great color, never dark, never pink, little purple, some violet and ship-loads of fluorescence. Will fill even a larger ring-size (solitary up to ten or as far as you like if a halo is added). The same color from Burma would run to five digits and then some. Luckily Mozambique has provided much needed relief in the vivid-red ruby supply. Without that injection the few Burmese rubies would now start calling six digits. Double certified unheated ruby in top 5% quality. If you'd like to own one of the few precision-cut unheated rubies in the world, we can arrange a re-cut by Conny F, staying over 1 carat and over 7x5mm but adding luster, symmetry and perfection in a top color.
