Ruby, 0.79 carats, Mogok, Burma, no heat.
A lovely example of an unheated (no heat) ruby from Mogok, Burma. If you are looking for a flawless ruby (spoiler - they do not exist) this one is not for you as its inclusions are typical of this desirable location. Taken from an antique ring, evidence the gem is from old mine production. Its bright red coloration I find difficult to capture with my iPhone camera. The ruby really needs to be seen to appreciate its beauty.
0.79 carats, cushion mixed cut, 6.2 × 5.1 × 2.8 mm
Accompanied by GPL gem report when set.
Note the outline and proportions of the gem indicate it was cut and polished decades ago.
Best viewed in person: DM if you want to know details.
Please note: There are no UK government sanctions on trading gems from Myanmar (Burma).
