I think the pale yellow sapphires are far more attractive than the citrine looking darker ones. I'm also grateful that the leaded glass filled rubies put beautiful stones within my price range. The dealers I buy from disclose this. A shopper can pick out a stone that has the least surface reaching cracks to minimize the glass content. Since the luster is different between the ruby and the filling material when the stone is tilted and examined under magnification, one can still get a decent ruby.
Fantastic, my gem dealer did not tell me that the ruby he sells could be heated or glass filled i guess he was not informed etc. Its important to buy from a professional who travels the world i guess. I think i may have bought a lemon.
THANKS FOR SHARING HOW MOST RUBIES ARE HEATED AND SOMETIMES GLASS FILLED . PEOPLE CAN PAY SO MUCH FOR GEMS AND IT REALLY IS WETHER THEY KNOW THE GEM DEALER HAS GONE TO THE SOURCE TO FIND THE MATERIAL . SO MANY SHOPS JUST HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE SELLING BUT THEY SURE THINK THEY KNOW.....
Just as you think mother nature has all the gems we need you discover that most of them are heated or treated thanks for showing how it is done and finding a good man to
THIS IS REALLY GREAT TO SEE. I HAD HEARD MOST RUBIES WERE HEAT TREATED BUT NOT THAT THEY WERE MOSTLY FILLED WITH GLASS AS WELL THESE DAYS. OF COURSE THE GENT WHO DOES IT IS HONEST IN HIS CRAFT IT IS THE GEM DEALERS WHO DONT INFORM THE BUYER THAT ARE THE CROOKS. THANKS FOR SHOWING ME HOW PREVALENT THIS PRACTICE OF COOKING SAPPHIRES IS. YOU MUST TRAVEL FAR AND WIDE TO FIND UNHEATED SAPPHIRES THIS VIDEO SHOWS US HOW FAR YOU GO TO FIND UNADULTERATED GEMSTONES .. THANKS MUCH VERY GOOD TO KNOW
To detect heat treatment with a loop or naked eye. One can look for various signs, If a sapphire has what is called a frisbee effect around a tiny dot . this is an obvious giveaway. If the ruby or saphire has any microscopic silk or rutile or boemite crystals this is an indication that the ruby is unheated . there are other ways that are more complicated to explain. but rest assured it is very very hard to locate unheated ruby of good color.
