Hi I have come into the possession of a gemstone collection and I am looking for help determining if this is indeed a ruby and if or what kind of value it holds. It is a carats 14x12mm. Thanks any info is helpful
I see a scratch on it and ruby has a hardness of 9. So it would take a diamond to scratch it. Most likely it's fake or some other mineral. Take it to a jeweler. Good luck.
Nobody can tell you if it's a genuine ruby from a picture. If it is a ruby, looks like stuff they sell on the shopping channel to people that don't know any better. A pretty thing, would be nice for jewelry.
