Product Description

CODE20

A striking 5.41 carat Natural Purplish Red Star Ruby, expertly fashioned into an elegant Oval Cabochon to reveal its natural asterism. Displaying an attractive purplish red body color, this gemstone is cut specifically to showcase the distinctive six-ray star effect, a rare optical phenomenon produced by needle-like rutile inclusions within the corundum crystal.

The smooth cabochon dome enhances the stone's rich color while allowing the star pattern to become visible under a direct point light source. Its generous size and classic oval proportions make it an appealing choice for statement rings, pendants, and custom jewelry.

Ruby is one of the world's most celebrated gemstones and belongs to the Corundum family, valued for its exceptional hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, making it highly suitable for fine jewelry.
