Rare Unheated Burma Ruby – 1.39 Carat Round Brilliant

Acquire a true legend of the gemstone world with this 1.39-carat Natural Burma Ruby. Sourced from the historic mines of Burma (Myanmar), the most prestigious origin for rubies globally, this stone possesses the classic Pinkish Red hue that is synonymous with authentic Burmese material.

Unlike the vast majority of rubies on the market, this specimen is completely unheated and natural, making it an exceptionally rare find for collectors who demand geological purity. It is expertly cut into a round shape—a rare and difficult cut for rubies, as it requires significant rough material to achieve. While the clarity is graded SI due to natural inclusions (as seen in the video), these “fingerprints” of nature serve as proof of its unheated origin and Burmese heritage.

Expert Insight for Burma Ruby

Finding a Burma Ruby in a 7mm round cut is incredibly difficult; most Burmese rough is cut into ovals to preserve weight. The fact that this is unheated significantly increases its rarity and long-term value. For an SI-grade stone of this caliber, I recommend a yellow gold setting. The warmth of the gold will harmonize with the pinkish-red tones and help mask the natural inclusions, giving the stone a richer, more vibrant appearance on the hand.
