Based on the RI number you have here, the other reactions and the SG that sounds very much like Corundum - Ruby. From the photos it looks like there might be some curved striations in it but without seeing it to confirm I wouldn't say definitely but based on what you've gotten I'd bet it's probably a Flame Fusion Corundum-Ruby.
