This 3.01-carat Burmese ruby has a pretty vivid red color that's completely natural (no heat) combined with pops of bright magenta highlights. The color is made even more intense as a result of fluorescence. Rubies from Burma (Myanmar), which typically form in marble, can fluoresce red or "glow" under ultraviolet light, including sunlight. This gem boasts a level of clarity rarely seen in Burmese rubies - it's not only fully transparent but also entirely free of internal inclusions. In addition, the brilliant-cut facets on the crown of the stone's cushion shape, coupled with the step-cut facets on the pavilion, create a light play that adds to the excitement.

Gemologist's Comments on Clarity:
Such exceptional clarity (internally flawless) is rarely seen in natural & unheated/untreated rubies of Burmese origin, particularly in stones over 2 carats in weight.

The features seen in the stone's pavilion are naturally occurring rough, unpolished surface areas. When cutting & polishing rubies, it's a common practice to intentionally keep certain portions of the stone in the natural, rough, unpolished form, particularly in the pavilion/bottom of the stone. This is done to preserve the carat weight and maintain the stone's overall shape/symmetry. Such minor external features are commonly seen in most natural & unheated/untreated rubies, especially ones from Burma. Since they are located in the pavilion, they don't affect the stone's clarity, face-up appearance, or luster.

Exceptional Quality:
The overall quality of this gemstone is classified as "exceptional". Its unique combination of extraordinary color, remarkable clarity, and superior appearance make it almost impossible to replace.

Vibrant Brilliancy:
