Personal Note From Natural Gems Belgium:

This natural ruby is unheated and unaltered, with a fair cut grade and a fair polishing grade. Its symmetry is good and its luster is fair to good, making it a pure and authentic gemstone. Due to it's dark color the inclusions are not this clear visible with the eye, and a gemlight is nescessary to show the inclusions.
