[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 293789, member: 487"] I got the Streamlight 3C-UV twin task torch, heavy duty, it's very good, makes Rubies glow nice and bright. I mainly only use it for authenticating rubies in jewellery, not all of them will flouresce but most do. Also if there are multiple diamonds in rings or bracelets usually one in every 5-8 will flouresce a milky white colour. None of the zircons I've found will flouresce but some Aussie ones are supposed to.
