Natural Pinkish Red Ruby - Unheated 0.17ct 4x3mm Pear Cut

A natural pear-cut ruby from Tanzania, weighing 0.17 carats and measuring 4x3mm. The small but well-formed pear outline shows a pinkish-red body color in its fully natural, unenhanced state - no heat treatment has been applied to this stone. Transparent with SI clarity, this tiny pear carries a genuine natural ruby color from one of Africa's well-regarded ruby-producing countries.

Tanzania produces ruby at multiple locations, including Winza, Morogoro, and other deposit areas scattered across the country, and is an established source for labeled-origin natural ruby. At 4x3mm and 0.17ct, this is a very small pear best suited for accent positions, micro-pave work, and buyers who specifically seek Tanzanian origin with confirmed untreated status for provenance documentation.
