A natural oval cabochon of Madagascar ruby, weighing 1.46 carats and measuring 6.7x4.9mm. The narrow, elongated oval outline at 6.7x4.9mm creates a slender profile with a good domed surface. SI clarity gives this cabochon better transparency than the more opaque end of the ruby cabochon spectrum - the warm red of heated Malagasy ruby shows with semi-transparent depth through the polished dome.
Madagascar is the world's leading source of commercial natural ruby, producing large volumes of heated material in oval cabochon form for the jewelry trade. At 1.46ct and 6.7x4.9mm, this is a practical size for a ring or pendant feature stone that wants a classic elongated oval shape. Heat treatment is standard for Madagascar ruby and enhances color saturation and clarity.
Natural ruby cabochon, 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.
