This is a really informative vid, on identifying these two gemstones. Thanks.👍

[@ingridinthis3d5dnow25]

Thanks very interesting... love crystals, have both of what you spoke of today. I believe I noticed the shape you referred to on my raw rubies. I Didn’t know this 🙏🏼🙋🏻‍♀️🌺✨✨✨

very informative thank you!

[@JohannaTeresa96]

Thank you so much!!!! I finally was able to figure out if my raw stone was a ruby or garnet!! I have a ruby!!!! It passed everything you said to look for in the raw form. I’m so happy. ❤ it was passed down to me from my dad and now I can 💯 very it’s a ruby. Thank you 🙏🏼 😊❤

[@jonathanb.1999]

Rubies contain a body color of mainly red with maybe secondary hues of pink and purple. There is a distinct difference. Pink sapphires are indeed pink sapphires.

Love watching your videos. Wish I could identify all my rocks I've collected over 50 years. Gerry

Hi Ur vlog is very nuseful fruitful and benefitial for us u teach s usmoremuch in a short time but complete comprehense

[@empressowusu555]

Thanks! You just helped me re-identify my stone. I've had it a while (along with some others) and didn't write down what it was. 😇

[@lasker31]

Your really good at speaking in front of a camera. Nice work.

[@crazyforcrotchet]

Thank you! Very easy explanation!

[@TreeLynnT]

Thank you dear. 💝

[@chasecarlson4900]

Awesome info! I was able to identify my pieces as ruby, but I’m still unsure of the inclusions present. My ruby is opaque and has these tiny red spots(very small) and a few tiny green thin crystals. Any ideas what they could be? The green ones seem to have grown in the ruby, very tiny but skinny, almost tourmaline like, and olive green. The red inclusions are also on the surface, deep almost black red in color. Not sure if garnet and tourmaline can form in corundum but if it could be something else I’d love to know! One piece has one of the green inclusions visible on the end of the tumbled stone and it makes the ruby look very unique even if it’s a tiny spot!

Nice video

[@stephaneldredvanhoek9634]

Thank you

[@mydiscover3874]

Very intersting vidéo ! Can the ruby have small crystals that shine? I would like to know, does the magnet react to raw ruby?

[@ishakolcak]

Garnet beautifull jewels nice 🤗😌😊😉

[@baileyball9498]

This is just what I needed! I have this awful habit of buying stones, setting them down, then coming across them in a month having no clue what they are! 😅 Great info and clear explanations and comparisons. Thank you so much! 💜

[@milliepagan6491]

This is so me lol. Now here I am having to resell my collection cause of financial hardship & if idk what’s what I have to sadly discount them more than I already have 🤦🏽‍♀️ lol 😆

[@iiniijewelry]

Really good information. But only applies to rough stones. When faceted, the only way to tell is under a microscope or lab tests. Even too trained gemologists have a hard time with them when they’re faceted.

[@davidariamirroarkyoung]

If corrundum has more red it's ruby if it has more pink then it is a pink sapphire seller's push it being a ruby rubies sell for more buyer's push for pink sapphire so they pay less but the GIE GIA and AGI have actual color cards that give a standard if ruby or pink sapphire but none of the three major gem schools or certification laboratories between them have the same lines of color or a standard they agree on personally I would go by the GIE or AGI since they deal with more colored stones GIA is primarily diamonds don't have the same scale of color to use so it really is a game of buying and selling sapphire or ruby unless it's distinct red with dark spots or a true pink but if it looks more pink generally it's a pink sapphire if it's more red it's a ruby

[@mistysaldana3277]

Pink corundum is Ruby everywhere else in the world. In USA 'pink' corundum is sapphire; It really IS Ruby.

[@duanedodson1]

Pinks are actually Sapphires, as well, rubies are actually one color of corundum. It is a purplish blood red color, everything else is Sapphire.

[@paigey1995-]

Natural and synthetic rubies can be fluorescent? So that long pink/red Rubie looks like a piece of candy 😹 is it real or synthetic?? I've got a bad full and I'm trying too find out if they're natural as Google only says Rubie's come in a flat form 🤔🙄

This is John Morgan Ruby's that are purplish red have the most value.

[@chrisskinner6291]

Ok if a rock has the shape of a garnet but yet has a pink in it whats that.

[@YeOldeRockShop]

Garnets can be all kinds of colors! So if the shape is that of a garnet, it's probably garnet :)

[@chrisskinner6291]

Team Ruby 🤗. my 3 biggest favorite rubies. emeralds Russian alexandrites. for me the most beautiful rubies come from Vietnam. Burma. Mozambique. Thailand. i will get greenland rubies very soon

[@Crown987]

My red rock type crystal just scratched the mess outta my quartz, so would that mean its ruby?

[@YeOldeRockShop]

Possible, when identifying minerals and crystals you want to use multiple forms of identification. So using the hardness test and looking at the crystal structure is one option or using the specific gravity.

[@Crown987]

@@YeOldeRockShop specific gravity meaning...?

[@YeOldeRockShop]

@@Crown987 Specific Gravity is the difference in weight of an object between its dry weight and the its weight suspended in water. So for instance quartz's specific gravity is 2.65 vs ruby which is 4. You can also send a picture of your ruby to [e-mail] and I can take a look at it as well.

i just wonder if i could buy a pound or two of ruby from Asia and bring it back to America. Will that brings me a lot of hassle from outgoing and incoming airport? Do i still needs to declare it though it'll be a raw stones?
