AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This specimen features a rough ruby with a compact, slightly prismatic morphology, with naturally well-defined faces. The stone displays a deep pink-red color, particularly expressive under lighting, revealing a beautiful internal luminosity.
The surfaces exhibit natural growth striations and textures, giving the crystal a clear record of its formation and a bold, raw character.
Technical features
Type of stone: rough ruby
Weight: 3.53 carats
Dimensions : 7.4 mm × 6.2 mm × 5.6 mm
Geographic origin: Mozambique
Color: bright rosy red
Transparency: Partially translucent
State: Raw specimen, untreated
3. Mineralogical analysis
The crystal has a well-defined internal structure, enabling uniform diffusion of light despite the presence of fine natural inclusions. The coloration is well distributed throughout the volume, with no pronounced chromatic discontinuity.
The visible striations on the faces are typical of rough Mozambique rubies and attest to natural, progressive growth.
4. Notable Points
Bright and vivid color under lighting.
Good chromatic uniformity.
Texture of natural growth is clearly legible
Compact and balanced morphology
Stable and Aesthetic Presentation
5. Historical landmark
Mozambique rubies are today recognized for their natural chromatic quality, even on crystals of modest size. Rough specimens showing good light diffusion are particularly valued for their direct and authentic visual appearance.
6. Conclusion
This Mozambique rough ruby is a harmonious and luminous specimen, highlighting an expressive color and a clearly discernible natural structure. A coherent piece for a collection oriented toward rough rubies with strong chromatic intensity, prioritizing authenticity and visual impact.
