[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 470801, member: 4386"] Interesting. Of course the intensity of fluorescence in natural or synthetic rubies is less if they have a high iron content. Inclusions etc are very useful. I am a bit doubtful that you can tell a Burmese ruby by its fluorescence - I suspect that it is more a case of you can tell a ruby that it is unlikely to be Burmese (i.e. because Burmese rubies fluoresce similarly to each other). However there are probably even limitations on that - rubies come from a number of different localities in Burma. [/QUOTE]
