Doesn't this Madagascan ruby have a delightful look to it, just like brightly colored candy? Its "ingredients" include a scrumptious red color, all-natural, indicative of only the finest rubies from the island of Madagascar. Add to that a fine helping of magenta overtones and an antique-cut octagonal shape with pronounced step-cut facets. All told, this is a delectable ruby that looks good enough to eat! Total weight 4.21 carats, calories not included!
