[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 356788, member: 487"] Yeah Aussie sapphires can be nearly any colour of the rainbow, pinks are classed as sapphire, once they get that deep red they are classed as ruby. Most rubies do flouresce under uv light due to the chromium content. Some Thai ones don't flouresce due to a higher iron content but you'll find pretty much all Aussie rubies will flouresce a bright hot pink like this. These aren't Aussie stones but it gives you an idea.
