This is red sapphire. Not ruby. The distinction matters and I'll explain it.

Both are corundum — the same mineral species, the same hexagonal crystal structure, the same hardness. The difference is chromium concentration. Ruby requires a chromium saturation above a specific threshold to earn the name. This stone, sourced and sold to me as red sapphire, has a vivid red that falls below that threshold. The color is genuine and beautiful. The name is accurate. I use it because precision matters.

From the Songea district of Tanzania, heat treated as is standard for this origin. Pear cut, 5.5 × 8.73mm — the elongated silhouette makes the color read as deeper than the carat weight suggests.

Treatment: Heated (standard for Songea origin)  ·  Origin: Songea, Tanzania  ·  Accurately described as red sapphire, not ruby (which is debatable)
