NGC Comment: Two carat unheated Classic Burma rubies are almost imposible to find in today's market. The size plus the 70% red makes this gem extremely rare. The stone is a perfect 75 tone and never blacks-out and looks vivid red in all lights. Those factors make this stone special. The clarity is MI1-MI2 but the inclusions are hard to see because the stone is so saturated. The stone has good cutting and finish. The stone has a high 70% brilliancy. The Total Quality Integration (TQIR) is Excellent to Very Good. A serious gemstone for a portfolio or to mount in an upscale jewelry piece.
