Identifying A Real Ruby/ Manik From A Fake Stone
Here are some effective ways to verify if the Ruby is genuine or a fake:
- Shine: Real rubies glow with a deep, vivid red shine. Fake gems are often dull& significantly less shiny.
- Color: Ruby has a consistent and even color throughout the stone. Fake ones usually have blemishes and impure spots. However, sometimes Ruby can also have imperfections.
- Hardness: Try scratching on the surface of the stone. Substitutes or fakes are much softer than a real ruby& will scratch more easily. Grinding a fingernail or a coin into the surface of the gemstone will help you identify the real ones. If you are able to scratch it, then there is a high possibility that it is a fake stone & not a real ruby. Only a diamond can scratch a ruby.
- Weight: Most fake rubies are less dense than real ones, making them much lighter than the real deal. This can be concluded easily simply by weighing the stone at hand. A fake gemstone will weigh less than a ruby of the same size.
- Price: Ruby is quite an expensive gemstone, & if it is available at a suspiciously low discounted price, then it is quite likely that it might be fake.
