This ruby from Madagascar weighs 2.58 carats and is NOT glass filled. There is a massive amount of glass-filled ruby on the market now and it is not durable; if your jeweler attempts to fix a prong with his torch the glass filling will soften and run out. This gemstone is flux-healed- a durable treatment that will last your lifetime and your heir's lifetime and their heir's lifetime- ad infinitum. Flux-healed ruby is not as expensive as unheated ruby but is a superb choice if you want a rare, beautiful, durable ruby with natural color.

Because of the shape this ruby is very versatile and could easily become a magnificent pendant or a very alluring ring in either white or yellow gold- or platinum for the most discerning individual. Of course we also offer palladium for those who think outside the box!

This ruby would make a magnificent gift for someone born in July! Ruby is the traditional birthstone for the month of July and very few people own such a beautiful example of this rare stone.
