Gemologist's Comments on Clarity:
The clarity grade of this ruby is "Flawless." It's completely free from internal inclusions/imperfections, and no internal inclusions are seen even under microscopic examination (30x magnification). Such exceptional clarity is rarely seen in natural & unheated/untreated rubies of Burmese origin, particularly in stones over 2 carats in weight.

However, as seen in the 360° interactive views, there is a minor natural, rough unpolished surface area in one of the pavilion facets (external feature). When cutting & polishing such fine-quality Burmese rubies, it is a common practice to intentionally retain such natural, rough unpolished surface areas (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 features are commonly seen in most Burmese rubies. Since this is an external feature located in the pavilion, it does not affect the stone's clarity or face-up appearance.

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.
