Natural Red Ruby - Unheated 0.35ct 4.7x4mm Pear Cut

A natural pear-cut ruby from Mozambique, weighing 0.35 carats and measuring 4.7x4mm. The near-equal 4.7x4mm dimensions create a wide, squat teardrop outline that gives this small stone a generous face area relative to its weight. The body color is a clean red with good transparency - the unheated color preserved exactly as it occurs in the Mozambique deposit, without any enhancement.

Untreated ruby from Mozambique's Montepuez region is available but considerably less common than the heated material that dominates commercial supply. This stone's natural red color has not been improved by any process, making it of specific interest to buyers who seek confirmed unheated rubies. At 4.7x4mm, the wide pear outline suits pendant drops, earring accents, and ring side-stone positions.
