I am not completely obstinate about >1ct requirements, did consider 0.83ct from the Natural ruby company, basically knocked it back because of a surface-reaching fissure in the pavilion (maybe doesn’t matter so much as below the crown?) and likely MongHsu origin. But that’s a lovely stone as well. Also thought about getting 0.5-1ct from May’s in Australia (that way don’t have to pay 10% import tax), just then stumbled across this 1.07ct stone. I am hoping the colour and fluorescence of the stone will win me over, price is reasonable for a Mogok ruby of this colour (but obviously compromises on clarity and chips on the girdle/pavilion). If this doesn’t work out may settle for a 0.5-1ct stone of good quality, yes.
May I ask the price of the 1.07?
