Comment: Here clearly visible a deep purple as 2nd hue in red producing a berry color, juicy and lush with violet sparks but not neon. Though identical in size and weight, it cannot be paired with this (same mine run, cut etc. but different in character). MD75 allows deepest hue sans black-out. No window, no visible inclusions, no treatments, 3Nos always rare but especially so in ruby. Affordable size, good color without compromises. Best set flush in a band up to size 6, or a bezel in size 4/5.  With large rubies in this quality going for $10k, we offer these quarter carats with the same diligence, certification, grading etc. As in other rarified sections of the gem world, alexandrite, mahenge, colored diamonds, paraiba etc. 4mm round is not too small for quality purchases with full service and without risk.
