An unheated Madagascar ruby, confirmed on two independent reports: GIA gives full origin and no indications of heating, and GLC independently reaches the same no-heat result. It's cut as a classic oval in a deep, saturated red, transparent and clean-faced — one of the more open, even-looking stones of its kind, with the eye meeting rich color rather than a busy interior. What natural markings it carries are the honest fingerprint of a ruby that never saw heat, proof of an entirely untreated gem. Its shallow, wide cut lets it face up a touch larger than its 1.04 carats. For a collector, this is the quiet ideal: an unheated ruby with a GIA report, clean to the eye and natural through and through.
