The carat weight of the stones can be measured by a certified gemologist.
Not that much
Three carat diamonds weigh three carats: that's how 'big' they are.

I inherited a Rubie ring with one center Rubie about 4 carat and two 1 carat rubies on either side. the stones are extremely clear and was estimated to be worth over 100,000.00 in the early sixties. not sure what it's worth today. Are diamonds carat weight and size about the same as rubies?
Natural (unheated) rubies, in particular from Burma (Myanmar), are quite rare, and especially above 5 carats they are considered world-class stones. For a first-rate clear ruby with excellent cut and the most desireable color, pigeon-blood red, collectors will pay more than $150,000 per carat. An exceptional stone, such as a 6.04 carat ruby that was sold at auction in May 2012, can fetch $500,000 per carat.
Carat is a weight, so its weight is one tenth of a carat or one tenth of .20 grams.
Cheap rubies can cost $2 per carat up to $10,000 or more for nice ones. I have bought many in India and the cost does not depend on the country but the quality
