A little knowledge
The first thing you need to realize when buying rubies is that they are one of very few gemstones that can have cracks and rough appearance. That's also the main way you can tell a real ruby from a lab created one. Their value is actually based on these anomalies, and it's considered good quality to have many fissures. These are caused by how the ruby is made in the Earth. If it looks like any other gemstone, by it being really clear, and a bright red, then it's lab created. Real rubies will not have that glassy polished clear look about them. This size ruby for this price is a STEAL and quite beautiful.
