A high-dome oval cabochon of natural Madagascar pink ruby measuring 7.2x6.6mm and weighing 2.50 carats. The polished surface presents a vivid warm pink to pink-red body color, semi-transparent with a glowing inner depth that comes through the dome evenly. The near-circular oval proportions at 7.2x6.6mm give this cabochon a versatile outline that suits both round and oval bezels. Heat treatment has enhanced the color to bring out the full warmth of the pink tone.
Pink ruby from Madagascar occupies a distinct niche in the ruby market - softer and warmer in tone than the classic red of heated Mozambican or Thai material, with the characteristic rosy-pink hue associated with Malagasy corundum at the lighter end of the ruby color range. At 2.50 carats and 7.2x6.6mm, this cabochon has substantial presence as a feature stone for a ring or pendant. Well suited for designers working with smooth-dome settings in silver or gold.
Natural pink ruby, July birthstone - sold loose.

About ruby
Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum. At 9 on the Mohs scale it is second only to diamond, and it is also very tough with no cleavage, so it rarely chips or splits when knocked. Together that makes it one of the most durable gemstones for everyday wear, rings included.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: cabochons usually contain fine inclusions or fissures that vibration and heat can open.
Wear and storage
Ruby is very hard, so it can scratch softer gemstones stored with it. Only diamond can scratch it, so keep it apart from diamonds and store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch.
For your jeweler
This ruby is heated, and the color from heating is stable. Ruby handles normal setting, re-tipping and polishing well. If the stone has fissures that reach the surface, keep it out of direct torch flame and acid pickle.
