Description from the seller
DESCRIPTION:
The vivid presence of this ruby trio reflects the unmistakable signature of fine Mozambican corundum, where crystals form in rich magenta tones illuminated by subtle red undertones. Each piece carries a vibrant saturation that remains striking even under soft light, enhanced by a gentle internal translucency that gives these specimens a refined, almost luminous depth.
Despite their modest size, the crystals hold remarkable visual weight. One displays an elegant elongated form, another presents a naturally compressed and almost block like geometry, while the third reveals textured growth lines reminiscent of the mineral’s early formation environment. Together, they create a harmonious set that captures both strength and delicacy in natural ruby.
With their strong colour quality, uniform saturation and consistent translucency, this trio stands out as a compelling choice for serious corundum collectors. Their visual harmony also positions them as excellent candidates for lapidary work, offering the potential for small but intensely coloured gems.
SPECIFICATIONS:
• Weight: 1.85 g
• Carat weight: 9.25 ct
• Origin: Montepuez, Mozambique
• Material: Natural ruby crystals
• Colour: Vivid magenta pink with subtle red undertones
• Transparency: Semi translucent
• Treatment: None indicated
• Form: Natural crystal trio
• Lustre: Vitreous to silky
NOTABLE POINTS:
• Strong colour saturation, superior to most natural rough rubies
• Semi translucent glow under light, indicating above average quality
• Three distinct natural growth forms: elongated, blocky and textured
• Harmonious and well matched in tone, ideal for display as a trio
• Sourced from Mozambique, known for its vibrant magenta ruby deposits
COLLECTOR’S INTEREST:
A refined trio that blends vivid colour, natural geometry and subtle translucency, making it an appealing acquisition for collectors seeking expressive ruby specimens with premium visual character.
LAPIDARY POTENTIAL:
Excellent saturation and consistent internal tone offer promising material for cutting small but high impact gems, especially for jewellers and cutters who specialise in vivid stones.

Photography and transparency:
All photos were taken under controlled light conditions, carefully selected to reproduce the most accurate natural colour of each specimen. No filters, colour enhancement, or artificial saturation were applied. The lighting setup uses a calibrated 5500K light source, which replicates neutral daylight and reveals the true tones and clarity of the mineral. Under weaker or more yellow indoor lighting, colours may appear slightly different, which is normal and expected. The purpose of this setup is to present each specimen exactly as it appears in balanced natural daylight, allowing buyers to appreciate its authentic colour and lustre without distortion.
Identification and ethics:
All specimens offered are guaranteed natural and as described. Their origin and mineral identification are provided with the most accurate and reliable information available. Every effort is made to ensure that each piece is presented with full transparency, avoiding any misleading details regarding its nature, treatment, or provenance.
Shipping and handling:
Orders are carefully prepared, with each stone individually protected and placed in a secure rigid box to ensure safe delivery. Shipments are made within 1 to 3 business days after payment confirmation, always with a tracking number provided to the buyer. Each order is handled with professional care from selection to dispatch, ensuring a smooth and trustworthy process.
Customs and import taxes:
Any customs duties, import fees, or local taxes applied by the destination country are entirely the responsibility of the winning bidder. These charges are not included in the auction price or shipping cost and are determined by the buyer’s local authorities.
Guarantee and resolution:
Customer satisfaction is a priority. In the event of any issue, such as loss, damage, or discrepancy, please contact us immediately through Catawiki’s messaging system. We will always find a fair and suitable solution, including refund, replacement, or other commercial arrangements whenever justified.
Appreciation and commitment:
We sincerely thank you for your trust and preference. Our goal is to continuously bring you some of the most beautiful, unique, and exceptional mineral specimens from around the world. Each piece is carefully selected for its quality and character, ensuring that every purchase meets the highest standards. Your satisfaction and confidence are our top priorities, and we will always strive to exceed your expectations with every order.
