How many carats are in a 20x15millimeter synthetic ruby oval in shape?
How much is a 20x15 mm Chatham ruby oval in shape in carats
Is lab created ruby a ruby?
Yes. Synthetic ruby is genuine, but it is less valuable than natural ruby.
What exactly is a created ruby?
It's a material that resembles a ruby but is man-made (synthetic).
What can scratch a ruby?
Ruby has a hardness of 9 on Mohs scale of hardness . So any gemstone with hardness more than 9 would scratch a ruby and that includes, diamond, synthetic moizzanite and synthetic diamond.
What is a 1 carat synthetic ruby worth?
Nothing at all...

What is synthetic ruby?
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 do you know if it is real garnet?
In general, gemologists identify gemstones by physical characteristics such as chemical composition, refractive index, specific gravity and hardness. In the case of ruby, a gemologist also has to distinguish between natural ruby -- ruby occurring in nature -- and synthetic ruby -- ruby produced in a laboratory through a process such as flame fusion. One of the signature characteristics of a synthetic ruby is curved growth lines formed as the crystal grows upwards in an environment with a high thermal gradient.
What is the rarity of blue sapphire onyx jade ruby gold and platinum compared to one another?
A ruby is more rare than a blue sapphire. Good quality jade is much more rare than the common onyx. Platinum is much more rare than gold when they are compared to each other.
How do you identify a real ruby gemstone from synthetic using 10X glass?
Ruby, the gemstone, is the red variety of the mineral corundum. Corundum is crystalline aluminum oxide (alumina). Ruby's red color comes from a small amount (a percent or so) of chromium impurity that substitutes for aluminum in the crystal structure. Other impurities give corundum other colors: gem sapphire occurs in a blue variety where the impurities are iron and titanium Naturally occurring ruby crystals formed slowly at high temperature deep in the earth. A rock containing ruby is unmistakably "natural" as the rock texture is not reproducible in the lab. Also diagnostic are small mineral inclusions in natural ruby. "Fake" ruby results from mis-identification of another red mineral, commonly garnet or tourmaline, or of colored silica glass. These mis-identifications are relatively easy to detect making use of physical properties. For instance, ruby is much harder than tourmaline, garnet, or especially glass. As well, fake rubies are often less dense than the real thing. It's easy to do these physical tests. Now comes the hard part: telling natural from synthetic ruby As is the case for diamond, a lot of ruby crystals have been grown (synthesized) in the lab. Growing rubies is by no means easy, but unlike mis-identified ruby, synthetic ruby is no less "real" than natural ruby. It can be extraordinarily difficult to tell the two apart. In the Verneuil synthesis process (used for over a century), rubies are grown by dripping fused alumina onto a plate, where it crystallizes. Characteristically curved growth features--observed with a microscope-- remain in the synthetic single crystal and are tell-tale signs of a synthetic origin. Heat treatment changes the internal features of the crystal making detection of this type of synthetic ruby more difficult. More recently, the appearance and physical properties of ruby crystals grown in a flux can be made to be essentially identical to those of natural ruby. Chemical analysis to detect trace amounts of impurities characteristic of the flux--like lead-- may be the only way to tell natural from synthetic. Usually Real rubies are heavier than the fake one!

Is Pokemon ruby density a real game?
Ruby is. It was released for the GBA. "Ruby Density" is not an official game.
