Every gemstone in the "Royal Araina Collection" is a rare, timeless treasure highly sought-after by discerning collectors and gem connoisseurs.

Description


Curation

Curated by: Harshil Zaveri, Founder & CEO

Description: It's no wonder the color red is used to indicate "stop." Its powerful hue makes you take notice. The same can be said about this magnificent 6.03-carat ruby, mined from the Montepuez district in Mozambique, known to produce the most superlative rubies. It features a beautiful "pigeon blood red" color, considered the finest and most coveted ruby color. This remarkable color, unenhanced by heat treatment according to Gem Research SwissLab (GRS), is perfectly saturated throughout the stone. The clarity is also exquisite, expertly showcased in a symmetrical oval cut with a large face-up appearance. This ruby is a rare, collector-grade gem waiting for a setting worthy of its regality.

Gemstone & Variety: Natural Ruby

Geographic Origin: Montepuez - Mozambique

Weight, Measurements & Shape

Shape: Oval


Color

Intensity of Color: Vivid to Deep

Shade: Red

Color Award: "Pigeon Blood Red"

Description of Color Award: Macabre, as it sounds, "Pigeon Blood Red" refers to a color category reserved for the finest, high-caliber rubies that exhibit a vibrant and vivid crimson red color. The term is said to have originated in Burma, where locals call the most vivid rubies "ko-twe", meaning "pigeon's blood". It is said that a perfect ruby is the same color as the first two drops of blood from the nose of a freshly-killed pigeon.

Pigeon blood red is the most sought-after color in rubies, surpassed by no other. While these rubies are usually devoid of purplish/pinkish/orangish/brownish overtones, some stones may show a slight purple hue.

While Burma (Myanmar) - particularly the Mogok region - has historically produced the most legendary pigeon blood red rubies, the nomenclature is not exclusive to the country. Other localities that yield fine-quality pigeon blood red rubies include Mozambique, Madagascar, Tanzania, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and Vietnam.


Transparency & Clarity

Transparency: Transparent

Clarity grade: Eye-Clean

Clarity description: The stone is completely free from eye-visible inclusions

Gemologist’s Comments on Clarity: In most lighting conditions, the clarity of this ruby looks completely eye-clean because the minor inclusions in the stone are masked by the rich color saturation of the stone. However, in strong lighting conditions, some minute inclusions may be seen with the unaided eye on close observation from some angles.

Natural & unheated/untreated rubies over 6 carats that are eye-clean, or even close to eye-clean, are extremely rare.


Fluorescence

Fluorescence is the visible light some gemstones emit when exposed to invisible ultraviolet (UV) rays. We've described below the intensity and color of the gemstone's fluorescence under long-wave UV light (LWUV).

Fluorescence Intensity: Faint

Fluorescence Color: Red


Special Characteristics

Exceptional Quality: The overall quality of this gemstone is classified as "exceptional". Its unique combination of extraordinary color, remarkable clarity, and superior appearance make it almost impossible to replace.

Large Size: The size of this gemstone is large compared to the commonly available sizes in this species/variety, making it rare and highly sought-after.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
