Ramaura Cultured Ruby
Cushion Cut, 6x8, 1.86 carats
Gem+ Grade

Ruby, prized by kings, queens, and potentates, has always been, for those that could afford it, the number one choice for a red gemstone. Except for diamond, it is the hardest and most durable of all gems. After 25 years of crystal growth research, Judith Osmer developed a way to grow ruby in the laboratory similar to the method Mother Nature uses. Her Ramaura Cultured Ruby is recognized world-wide for its beauty and the technical breakthrough it represents.

Months of slow growth produces rough crystals which have many of the same physical growth features and internal inclusion as those found in natural ruby. In fact, a chemical dopant is put in every Ramaura Cultured Ruby to aid in its identification. At last, a product of the laboratory every bit the equivalent of natural ruby! The Ramaura, in color, depth and fire, is unequalled except by natural ruby costing 100 times more! The Ramaura Cultured Ruby is a breathtaking example of one of science's greatest achievements.
