An oval-cut ruby from Madagascar in a dark cherry-red, deeper and more concentrated than the lighter pinkish stones at this size. Whitish feathers run through the left half of the body, visible as soft veils against the red, and two bright magenta points flash from the lower center. A few small green-black specks sit along the left edge. The overall tone is rich and slightly inky. Feathers of this kind are healed fractures formed during crystal growth, and they are a normal part of natural ruby at commercial clarity. Heat is a standard, accepted treatment for ruby. Corundum's hardness of 9 makes it durable enough for daily wear, and at 0.30ct and 4.2x3.2mm this oval suits a bezel or a small solitaire where a deep, dark red is the goal. Ruby is the July birthstone.
