Ruby 0.496 ct Loose Stone (Houseki Kyo)
Ruby has been cherished as a gemstone since ancient times. It refers to red corundum. With a hardness of 9, second only to diamond, ruby is a durable and stable gemstone, making it easy to handle.
This ruby was cut by Mr. Sanje, a Sri Lankan master cutter. It boasts high transparency and a vibrant red color. The meticulous cut prevents any color fading even when viewed from the front, allowing you to fully appreciate the unique beauty and brilliance of ruby.
A sorting report from the Gemological Association of Japan is included.
