How would you know if ruby stone is real?

Answer 1

You can only identify if a ruby is real through appropriate equipment or/and under a microscope. With reference to what a real ruby looks like, under a microscope, you will be able to identify imperfections, the color is a very vivid red and they are scratch proof.

Answer 2

There is probably no way for the average person to know absolutely that a ruby is real, but if the gem scratches glass, and is red, and sold from a reputable source, you could be reasonably sure.

If it is a fake ruby, it may be scratched or the stone may contain air bubbles. Supposedly, a light directed at a gem ruby crystal will produce a red beam of light, as in a ruby laser.

Answer 3

To determine if a ruby is real, you can conduct a series of tests such as the scratch test (rub a ruby against a rough surface to check for scratches) and the shine test (real rubies reflect light and have a natural inner glow). You can also seek help from a professional jeweler who can perform more advanced tests like using a gemological microscope or conducting a specific gravity test.

Answer 4

You know a ruby stone is real if you can't break it. Try smashing yours on something hard
