[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 295755, member: 487"] Sesame seed size is really not worth doing anything with to be honest. Rubies are quite rare in Australia but not as rare as some might say. The best way to see if it is a ruby or zircon is with a uv light, Australian rubies will flouresce a bright hot pink and red zircons won't. In places like the Cudgegong River they are way more rubies than zircons, but they are so small they are really not worth doing anything with. If you can add the place where it was found that would probably help identify it also. [/QUOTE]
