Hello guys! My second shot and looks like bad experience again Just came from fellows auctions for estimate current ruby aand they said is 99% synthetic ruby Its hard to believe as I bought it with AGI certificate Please have a look on pictures ( will attach some more soon ) No idea what to do with it now
I've bought it as second hand with some minor scratches on it bought it on auction so will try to return it back if this is not real ruby I've shown it today to the person who doing estimate for auctions and she said is synthetic ( used loupe only )
We can't tell 100% from a photo, since diagnostic features are typically seen under a microscope or with advanced spectrometry and such. But we can see the color, clarity and cut, all of which are very typical of synthetics (especially that type of very flat windowed cut). Th valuation which is missing what I'd think is the most important information (ie, natural vs synthetic not even mentioned) is also very odd. In person, with a loupe if you were to see a feature like curved growth striae you could be 100% sure it was a synthetic. If I were you I'd definitely do everything I could to return it if I'd paid a significant amount of money for it.
there is similar example on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323605531595 He said is all what he has and no any idea about synthetic as it should be real with such valuation
all difference between our stones is clarity as mine is too clear
You are not knowledgeable yourself, a skill that takes years to develop. Therefore, you need to restrict your purchases to stones that have a lab report from one of the few respected gem labs like GIA. This you can learn quickly. There are tons of fake labs, and fake reports out there. If you continue to ignore this one piece of advice, you will get ripped off, and you will deserve to.
