Product Details

Natural Ruby – Antique Native Oval Cut | Black Label Series by Treasure Island Trading Co. This exceptional natural corundum ruby weighs approximately 0.85 carat and measures 7.5 × 5.4 × 3.0 mm. Fashioned in the historic antique native oval style preferred by period cutters who valued weight retention and saturated color over modern proportional ideals, the gem exhibits a vivid pinkish-red chromium-driven hue with exceptional transparency. Clarity grades VSI (Very Slightly Included), revealing only minute pinpoints under magnification—effectively eye-clean for a stone of this age and intensity. Strong red long-wave UV fluorescence confirms both the chromium content responsible for its rich color and its natural, untreated status. Over 100 years old and free of heat treatment or any artificial enhancement, this highly desirable collector-grade ruby delivers outstanding face-up size and presence. A scarce, authentic antique treasure. Authenticity guaranteed.
