Playing with my uv light and thought I would share some information with everyone. What it comes to rubies theres one very easy way to tell if you have a Burmese ruby. All rubies will fluorescence under a uv light but to differentiate the difference between Burmese, a natural ruby from somewhere else and a synthetic ruby you have to look for patterns in the stone and the particular colour it shines.
As you can see in the above photo the Burmese ruby really glows under the uv light
Above is a parcel of small rough which has a bonus piece of burmese in the parcel the colour difference is extremely noticeable.
Ill put up some more photos tomorrow sometime showing glass filled and synthetic rubies.
