I had a breathtaking ruby that fluoresced in sunlight. Set in a ring, I would moved or place my hand without pre-thought, and was struck each time with the unbelievable color flash that almost stopped me in my tracks. My beloved late husband bought it for me, and could not have chosen anything that would be a more enduring source of delight for me. It was a pure deep (not dark) true red, cut in a slightly oval cut, and I cannot imagine any other inanimate object I could enjoy more. Value? Haven’t a real clue. It was bought in Thailand, if he knew the origin location I never heard about it. Some things are beyond price or the need to boast. Thanks for your work
Thank you for sharing!
You all prolly dont care but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Trevor Ares i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Trevor Ares It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my account :D
@Leonard Rodney you are welcome =)
My husband and I celebrated our 40th Valentine Wedding Anniversary this year. He gave me the most beautiful ruby surrounded by diamonds. It was beautiful but I didn't ask details. Oh my goodness I have a beautiful fluoresced stone too, it does flash with light, like my heart does for him every time our eyes meet. Together 17,500 days if only we could have 17,500 more.
I had went gem mining two weeks ago. I was able to find 4-6 rubies in North Carolina. They may be small, but I will find a Bigger one!
Finally, someone has given great information on my favorite, sometimes forgotten, gemstone my birthstone, rubies. I bought my ruby earrings and ruby ring from the Bahamas which my hubby purchased an upgrade on my earrings just recently since he lost my ruby pair earrings he purchased on our honeymoon, 21 years ago. I love my upgraded ruby earrings with halo diamonds around it~ It makes me feel like a princess 👸~❤
You do a great job and a great service to anyone even the least bit interested in gemstones.

Rubies are hands down my favorite stones. I have a small one and I enjoy it. Love to look at the ones I can't afford as well. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
i was shocked to learn that rubies refractive index and dispersion are super low
Good job ! You covered a lot. All good technically correct info.

We always learn something from you! 💕
What an excellent explanation by an above-average jeweler! Good work!
Thank you so much for the video, there is a Madagascar Ruby I really want for my birthday! I'm really excited and I hope I get it. Ruby is my favorite type of gem!!
😁❤
Thank you, really helpful as I am starting my search for a pretty Ruby
I have a beautiful ruby ring. My mom called the color, Pigeons Blood. It is gorgeous! We went to a jeweler and had a beautiful ring made.
As a gems dealer, I believe you have covered all the aspects.
Can I have Ur contact

Stone of the kings. .👑👍
That turned out t be Spinel in many cases The famous Ruby in the English Crown jewels is a Spinel
New subscriber here and I was going to ask if the ring i have with ruby’s in would fluoresced under a uv black light, it really turned them bright red and was this right or is it garnets? Loved the video and will be watching your other videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 👍👍👏👏💖💖
I love the hunt. Thanks for the info. I could have used you a couple thousand dollars ago. Haha you live and learn. I jumped on every opportunity in america I could. The chase now is stones in settings.
Thank you for your knowledge sharing.
What suggestions do you have for finding a buyer for an antique ruby/jewel?
Andrew, Thank you for sharing such great information and your own knowledge, I appreciate it and have learned so much from you.

Own a pair of 1ct Burma Ruby earrings my wife bought me for our first anniversary! Amazing.
I got ruby for Valentine and for my 15 wedding anniversary because ruby is 15 and 40 wedding anniversary too
Another very informative video
Great informative video !
thank you!
Thank you for the video. Rubies have it all. They are hard and durable enough for daily wear. Wonderful glowing red color, good sparkle, and I can't think of a more romantic center stone for an engagement ring. If the price for quality natural stones is too high then there are lab grown rubies with perfect color, clarity, and cut that are very affordable. Didn't know about the tabular crystallization habit so I learned something new. Would love to watch a video on synthetic corundum and emerald.
Lab grown rubies: Meh. 😒
very informative...thank you so much for sharing
your knowledge ... it helps a lot....
Glad it was helpful!
Thankyou such an interesting tutorial
Thanks Andrew for nice video 👏
My pleasure!
superb information !!!
Very informative
Insightful! Thank youuu
I bought an unheated Mozambique ruby with a lab report, its the prettiest ruby ive seen. btw great video
Did you buy the gem loose or facetted? I bet its beautiful
@@knighthunteroiyes it was faceted with an emerald cut
thank you for passing on your knowledge in away that anybody could pick it up
Very informative learnt sum 2 day
Nice information ❤
To me, the most important information you give concerns the treatment of the gems and the considerations and questions to ask on purchasing a stone.
That’s the BIGGEST thing I agave learned about rubies - treatments. 😤
Thank you so much my friend
Woow one of best Explanation!
as sapphire specialist you pick most of the important tips to discuss and everything well detailed
i guess muzambic is producing larger quantities of Rubys recently very pretty as good as burma
I would prefer calling Padhaprcha as king sapphire because its more expensive than ruby what you think of that ? plz correct me if am wrong 😅
by the way
cheers and good luck for future videos
Thanks for sharing another fabulous, educational video. A question, if you don't mind. I am a collector of gemstones and have some fabulous pieces in my collection. Would like to sell them now. But need a buyer that can really appreciate good stones. Need your guidance on it. Thanks
Thank you. Very informative. My birthstone is ruby, and I have bought Garnett by accident. It’s not that bigger a problem as the ring is still pretty. Now I know what to look for
Just BEWARE of glass filled junk. They will take ruby, near waste product, super-heat it, add red glass and VOILA! They now have sparkly “Burma Ruby” that no longer has its original crystal structure, has added carat weight in Glass 😟, and they are not mohs #9 hard anymore… And it is VERY hard for people to catch this. This has actually Inflated the price of a good, natural, GIA lab inspected ruby or sapphire. 😭. This has negatively affected the retail buying power of common-folks like me who simply want a decent 1.5 or 2 Carat Birthstone ring.
Generally, rubies are a pinky-red.
Garnets are a brownish-red.
💕 love the color of ruby. I named my dog after this precious 💕 stone ruby.
This was cool, thanks!
I love rubies and have it and diamonds in my engagement ring. Interesting that rubies used to be the birthstone for many months including December which is my birth month.
Ruby is my birthstone. love rubies.
Correct, I just bought one and am wondering. It was certified with AAAA, but ist that a recognized qualification?
I have a few Ruby one from my grandfather
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Nice, i just order thru a well know source a nice buddha beads. Crystal clear citrine and a large ruby guru bead. Have not received it but the pictures show me that the light passes thru with the flash. No shiny parts, and the lab report shows no treatment. My first ruby since my class ring. When i get it, do i look out for the same as my jade peices? Awsome video.
Thank you information
Sir i am from Myanmar (Burma ) Mogok
U are amazingly explain Ruby
Thank you very much great somaliland ruby
I like the mysteriousness about Ruby, sapphire and emerald. I like emerald most!
Plus, good to know that the cromium colors the ruby red.
I also like those colored gemstones. Emeralds are my favorite of the 3. I love the character of emeralds.
Chromium.
I ❤️ Rubies.
But have to say, love those paler, slightly teal-blue emeralds… don’t know why, they are not the ideal, I know- Just love the odd colors.
@@k.hendrickson8735 if the color falls too pale, they aren’t considered emerald anymore but green beryl. I like seeing translucency and inclusions in emeralds.
I liked the ruby red slippers but it was the Emerald City that won my heart. ❤
I bought a Chatham blood red ruby I know it's not worth much but it's beautiful. What is your opinion of Chatham stones?
Thanks Respected Sir💎🇮🇳🌹🙏
This is good info I'm thinking of buying a ruby hahah
Greetings from New York.. 👌👌👌
.can we cut other mineral with diamond cut model??
.for example Chalcedony can we??
Sir, do you buy natural burmese ruby
Is a heat treated ruby worth purchasing?
I have over 20kg of corundum rubies and sapphires can you help me to identify or have them cut and polished then eventually sell. They are mostly gem quality
Please do video on Paraiba tourmaline or copper bearing tourmaline.
Hello sir, i have some of ruby i don't no how to sell & how much per carat..
Regarding the "trust" aspect...
I'd be interested in hearing your perspective on small, independent jewellers versus some of the larger jewellery chains or franchises.
(Personally I always tend to trust jewellers more if they do custom pieces; then I know I'm dealing with a crafts-person and not just a re-seller - but I'm sure that's not always completely reliable.)
I did make a video a while back about finding a good jeweler. you may find something there helpful.
@@YourAverageJeweler I actually have a great local jeweller - and she's not even that expensive for custom pieces compared to off-the-rack factory-made jewellery. She makes most of her income from factory-made jewellery, but she seems to love commissions and is great at saying "okay, so that's what you want. Now, THIS is actually what you should have!" Because a good designer, architect or jeweller should not just give the customer what they want, but suggest what they didn't realise they wanted/needed.
But clearly I need to watch more of your back catalogue of videos. Even the information I don't *need* is interesting and good infotainment. Your videos make for good company over morning coffee.
I have a lot of rough Ruby how do I know if it is gem quality and how do I find a cutter
Sir, do you buy natural burners ruby
I have almost 200kg of kurandon.can you advice what to do with that,????
Sir do you buy natural burners ruby
My ruby is old . When did they start heat treatment? Year?
Question I have the presidium multi tester iii and I have tested it on rubies from Burma, it gives me the green light. I test them on other rubies from other countries such as Africa, it does not give me a green light but it gives me a yellow light or only Red Antler on a rough sapphire from Madagascar I have used the multi tester and it gives me a green light as if it were a diamond, that sapphire is blue, what could be happening. I know that the multi tester is only for Diamonds Monssanite zirconia or simulant but in a rough sapphire and Burmese rubies it gives me diamonds what happens here
I got ruby I'm so lucky I got a royal one the top one and I'm connected to royal blood nice thanks dudeeee yayyy
Excuse me, may I know how much is the price of a carat of red sapphires approximately?
Ofcourse!!!
Do you have a video on just raw rough diamonds and rubies
Sir where can I send you my rock stone vedios, I hope you can help me to determine those rocks
hello. i have a lovely small pile of raw rubies, emerald, possible meteor pieces from a house clean out in ny. any chance of talking on a video connect? would LOVE to show you and ask you a few questions. THANK YOU.
Learned a couple new things about my favorite gemstone. Didn't know about the crystal shape, sometimes absent fluorescence and lead glass filling. I really enjoy synthetic rubies because I can get them, big, clean and with rich color saturation. Flame fusion ones fluoresce like a car tail light making them very glowy in strong light. One of my favorite rings is a big transparent lab star ruby. It's very red and has a reflection of the star so I see a white star and a red star.
Yeah, admittedly they are pretty… but LAB made and won’t go up in value..
Hi ser from Philippines I have red orange stone this is a ruby? It's clear just like a glass it transparent. Can you help me to identify what Stone that I have thank you.
Hi sir I have a lots of quantity of red Ruby and Neelam stones I want to solve that product so how to solve this
Good information pictures of CZ in your video! Real Rubies have inclusions and cut marks!💎

It would be nice if you would do a video on Peridot.
It is under August birthstone. Best of luck.
if in your horoscope sun has lordship of any benefic house but is weak to give results(in degrees 0-5, 24- 60 ) then you may opt for ruby.
