Top blood red unheated 8.30ct Lichinga Ruby

This is an amazing unheated example. Sourced from the Lichinga region of Mozambique, this opulant ruby exhibits a velvety blood red hue combined with a mirror grade luster that is simply mesmerizing. It is rich and decadent with a semi-translucent body ensuring that there will be no deviation in its color palette, while still giving it a glowing appearance in sunlight. Measuring an impressive 14.4mm x 11mm x 5.3mm, it is a perfect candidate for setting, and it has a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10, ensuring that it is both durable enough to wear daily, and also pass on for generations to come.
