NGC Comment: A gem, 70% red, Burma with a light tone. It is extremely rare to get a 70% red ruby with a 70 tone, most are 80-85 tone. In the trade, these stones are known as 70/70's. The last one we owned was in 2001. This stone is a red screamer and looks better than most red diamonds. Also the clarity of MI1 is hard to see with your eyes. High brilliancy with very good proportions and finish for a Mogok Burma ruby. One of the best two carat "Classic" unheated Burma rubies on the market!
