[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 84950, member: 487"] Actually Twapster I'd say more like looking at 2 different types of Bananas, they are nearly always some shade of Yellow when ripe. [url]http://www.jewelry-secrets.com/Gemstones/Ruby/Ruby-The-Gemstone-For-July.html[/url] Top Right of the cour chart section matches pretty closely to Brumble-Gums stones. Nuggets stone is much lighter in saturation though I'm pretty sure will flouresce under UV. The article says Rubies that fouresce are highly prized as they will look richer and brighter in Sunlight due to the UV content of the light. It seems saturation is more important than the shade of a Ruby, they really are the same though. Maybe Rubies which don't flouresce should be renamed as Red or Pink Sapphire? I'm no expert but they are all Corundum with Chromium. [/QUOTE]
