Up for auction is a vibrant 2.20-carat unheated pinkish-red ruby from the Winza mining region of Tanzania. This exceptional gemstone exhibits a rich, glowing color that dances between crimson and fuchsia, a hallmark of the finest Winza rubies.

Cut into a well-balanced cushion shape, this ruby displays excellent brilliance and fine polish, emphasizing its lively internal fire. The stone is completely unheated and untreated, preserving its natural color and gemological integrity—qualities highly valued by collectors and connoisseurs alike.

About Winza Rubies:
Discovered in 2007, the Winza deposits in central Tanzania quickly gained global attention for producing ruby and sapphire crystals of extraordinary color and clarity. Unlike many other ruby sources, Winza’s corundum often forms in garnet-rich metamorphic rock, resulting in unique hues that combine the vivid saturation of Burmese rubies with the clarity and transparency typical of East African stones.

Unheated rubies from Winza are exceptionally rare, as most rubies on the market undergo heat treatment to improve color or clarity. Natural specimens like this one—clean, well-cut, and vibrant—represent some of the finest modern-era ruby finds from Africa.

A rare unheated ruby from the legendary Winza mines—radiant, natural, and truly collector-worthy.

Wishing you the best of luck and a pleasant bidding experience.
