Natural Songea Ruby – 1.21 CT Oval | Pigeon Blood Red, Heated

A vivid blood-red ruby from Tanzania — exceptional color, natural origin, and undeniable presence.

This striking natural ruby from Songea, Tanzania showcases one of the most desirable color profiles in the gemstone world: a deep pigeon blood red, rich, saturated, and full of life.

Weighing 1.21 carats, this oval-cut ruby displays remarkable color concentration with only minimal inclusions — limited to a single visible crystal — allowing the stone’s brilliance and intensity to take center stage. While the cut is slightly flatter, it maximizes surface presence, making the color appear bold and commanding when set.

The ruby has been heat treated, a standard and accepted enhancement in the gemstone industry used to improve clarity and color while preserving natural origin.

This stone is ideal for high-end custom jewelry or as a collector’s gemstone with strong visual impact.
