Bask in the glow of this glorious cushion-shaped ruby from Burma (Myanmar), known throughout history as the world's greatest producer of the finest rubies. Its delightful color is completely natural, which is incredibly rare considering most rubies are heat-treated to enhance their hue. This Burmese ruby also has enchanting natural crystal inclusions that accentuate its red and pink tones as light bounces throughout the stone.

Gemologist's Comments on Clarity:
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.

Large Size:
The size of this gemstone is large compared to the commonly available sizes in this species/variety, making it rare and highly sought-after.
