Can rubies conduct?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rubies, although good thermal conductors, are not naturally conductive of electricity, due to how electrons are tied up in the crystal lattice, not free to move as they are in metals. However sometimes impurities can enable them to conduct; also, it is possible to excite ruby with radiation and induce a limited electrical conductivity.

What is a pigeon blood ruby worth?

Asked by Wiki User

The value of any gem depends on its rarity, size, color and flawlessness - and on the market at the moment. Pigeon's blood rubies are pretty rare, so it would be worth more than an ordinary one, but there's no way to value something like that over the internet. You'd need to take it to a reputable jeweler.

What is synthetic ruby?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Ruby's chemical make up is AL2O3:CR, that means that every molecule in it has 2 atoms of aluminum, 3 atoms of oxygen connected to an atom of chromium. In the 1800's chemists figured out that by combining aluminum oxide with chromium at high heat they would get synthetic ruby.

The process has been modified through the years but, chemically speaking, synthetic ruby is the same as natural ruby. From a retail point of view they are worlds apart and man-made stones must be marked as such and cannot be sold as ruby.

How much is a 3 carat Ruby worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Without having the ruby in front of a gemologist there is no way to tell. Rubies are graded much the same way that diamonds are.

They are graded on Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat with the exception that color has much more impact on the value.

Please see the link below for a better understanding of the grading process.
