[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 322481, member: 1916"] Love the colour of those red ones, such a deep consistant red ( zircon in my hunting grounds often have some washout of colour) and the yellow-green looks good enough to cut. :cool: Couldn't add any more to Lefty's comment originally but on reflection - the hardness test may give you an idea if they are rubies or zircon. If a blue sapphire scratches them they are not rubies. [/QUOTE]
