While many Mozambican rubies are of sufficient quality to remain , a significant portion of the production undergoes standard heat treatment to improve clarity and dissolve rutile silk. Low-temperature heating is also common to subtly shift purplish overtones toward a more desirable pure red. Due to the high volume of production, ethical sourcing and blockchain-tracked "mine-to-market" documentation have become hallmarks of the Montepuez supply chain.
