@@HillBilly_UrbexNo, ruby is red corundum. Red beryl is also called red emerald, scarlet emerald or bixbite and is far rarer than rubies. Gemstone quality crystals are only found in the Wah Wah mountains of central Utah.
@@HillBilly_UrbexSorry, but Ruby is red Corrundum (sister to Sapphire). Red Beryl is sister to Emerald and also called Bixbite. (Zircon can be red too!)
Природный Рубин черезвычайно дорогой! Дело в том что их практически все добыли.. То-есть их более нет в земле... Соответственно, ввиду этого цена на них невероятно высокая 📈
Another easy way to identify the ruby from the fake is to just simply shove it under the blacklight - they lights up bright red. I have some terp pearls that are synthetic ruby and they indeed light up under my blacklight flashlight. And under certain white light, they look sickly pink, yet with a bit more blue in the light, you get red tint. Ruby is one interesting stuff. Synthetic and natural ruby reacts the same way to UV, so it's a bit hard to tell if it's synthetic stuff or mined though - synthetic ruby is obviously cheaper.
I did use the blacklight, however this does not differentiate between spinels and rubies. I also looked at a natural confirmed ruby under blacklight and it does not fluoresce - something about iron impurities reduce this effect for natural ones.
@@iantaggart3064Ruby is pretty easy to make. People in China are flooding the market with clear, machine-cut gems. I just bought a really beautiful 30 carat ruby off of Amazon for $25. All it takes to make a ruby is aluminum oxide power, a bit of chromium power and a really hot torch.
Just don't talk about the Ruby, Is anyone know if that one is 100% natural Spinel stone, how much you need to pay for, to own one like that colour and size. ?
How is it glass when he literally proved it's real... Also, why are you so angry at lab grown gems? They're literally the same stuff, but higher quality and they don't require the labor of African children.
It's lab corundum. Glass filled rubies are very cloudy/opaque and have many inclusions even after treatment. Though the result is a decent looking stone, they don't possess the clarity and lustre that this stone has in the video. Glass fill are produced from extremely low quality natural rubies that are so terrible looking in their original state that they wouldn't sell otherwise.
It’s real yeah, a laboratory-grown Ruby
Laboratory grown ruby IS a ruby.
Ignorant.
@@frooskys22fk nah a ruby that size would be worth a million dollars
@@frooskys22yes but they’re basically worthless compared to a natural ruby.
@@Jackaroo. If there is no serial number requirement by law , no one differentiates .
Rubelite is red tourmaline. And then there’s red beryl. And I’m pretty sure there’s more red gems.
Ruby is just red beryl lol

Also, if you had Red Beryl I don't think anyone would purposefully switch that out with Ruby 😂
This is a most gorgeous ruby with beautiful tone and saturation.
Excuse me, did you say the only other red gemstones are garnet and spinel?
Red Beryl, red diamonds, red tourmaline (rubellite) etc
Exactly. What the hell is he talking about?
STEVEN UNIVER-
For that price it's got to be a synthetic ruby
A man can dream
Nice one I have a Ruby that glows under uv
Check the stone in gem laboratory to make sure it’s natural or lab grown
only other red gemstone.....Red Topaz, Red Apatite, Red Diamond, Red Zircon, Red Beryl and Rubellite Tourmaline leave the room....
Beautiful Ruby collection
Red sapphire

How is it known that most are mined already?
Hello
Rubies!
This is synthetic, you should have said that
NO ITS NOT🤦♂️
It’s 100% authentic grown in a lab.
@@brandoncoins8246 Moron, gems grown in a lab are synthetic.
@@brandoncoins8246so it’s synthetic?
@@brandoncoins8246that's what synthetic is. Corundum grown in a lab.
Look for silking. Silking is from Mogok mine & valuable.
I've actually gotten some wonderful stones on eBay ❤

Synthetic ruby OR lab ruby??
Synthetic means not a ruby (Glass)
Lab means real but grown in a lab

@@kongnatural gemstones will always have inclusions of some sort , lab made gems are always flawless like glass
Sounds like a true gem - no Wait fot - Gem of a" Gemtester"🎉
If that was a real ruby of that size it would be worth thousands
20 carat x 5k, yea
You could also go by its refractive index.
Yes, but I do not have a flat sheet of it
13 dollar natural ruby? Right....
NO, $13 real ruby. Obviously lab grown 🤦♂️
Even good quality lab grown rubies are worth more than that. The low price probably comes from flaws that aren't easy to show on cameras.

Make a spectacular ring with it.
My birth stone is ruby, I was going to buy one but didn't want to end up with a fake one 😂 think I'll save my money
Why just not use the spectrometer?
Took me a while to get access :)
It's synthetic
No it’s a lab
Both are still the same chemically
@@imtherandom1-780 No they are not. This is not the same as diamonds.
Just use a refractometer? Also looking for inclusions can help you determine if it's natural or not
❤❤❤
But he wasn’t testing if it’s NATURAL
He was testing to make sure it’s a ruby.
My red stone wouldn’t scratch with a knife, does that mean it’s a ruby?
@@thedailyhummm no that just means it’s stronger then the knife. UV light is a great way to start…. but you will need a few more tests
What’s it worth?
Myself I found the small iron but I don't know how can I buy?
It is probably a real ruby, but lab created, as in corundum?
even real ones are corundum
@@kongnatural* they are both real
Checking the RI would easily tell it is Ruby or not
Just don't talk about the Ruby, Is anyone know if that one is 100% natural Spinel stone, how much you need to pay for, to own one like that colour and size. ?
nice they tend to sell alot of real rubies an labs
Hey, you can tell that it is fake because it ships from India . Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk. 😅
Never heard of lab growns, have you?
You should slam a sapphire into it
Red beryl is also red
Steven universe
😅 Yeah, keep telling yourself.
How much did you pay 3 million or a few buck's 😂
What’s the value of that size?
It's glass filled or lab grown
How is it glass when he literally proved it's real...

Can you please tell me the price of 1 carat ruby
I think like 5000 USD
@@kong I have 4 rubies of 1.5 carat want to sell it that's why I ask thanks for letting me know

ผมมีพลอยแดงประมูลได้ที่ไหนครับ
Hola.. tengo lo que creo es un lote de rubíes, exactamente 288kilates en 49 piedras.. quiero enviarte la foto para que me lo evalúen por favor
Just smash it against a hard surface. If it breaks, it's fake.
Spectro before dichroscope why?
no dichroscope, had spectro though
Where can I buy real rubies on eBay?
What do you mean by real?
Yes if you need a real ruby it's in Morocco country
@@frenchrevenge6406 there’s a lot of fake rubies or crested ones , and sellers sell it as natural ,, scammers
You clearly do not know what you’re talking about because there are more red stones in this world😂

Red sapphire is common.
