[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 614122, member: 4386"] Zircon also fluoresces, but yellow, not the often strong red of ruby. Garnet might not fluoresce, although some do, but not red, [url]https://www.gemstonemagnetism.com/fluorescene_in_relation_to_magnetism.html[/url] I also wondered if it might be garnet. Hardness is much softer than ruby, and most are slightly softer than zircon (although some are equal). [/QUOTE]
