[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 29867, member: 487"] Some pics would be good, Rubies flouresce under UV light due to the Chromium present, most Sappires do not. More than likely Garnets as Rubies in Australia are extremely rare even in Ruby deposit regions. I've tested a ruby a friend has and it definately does flouresce though not very bright, bright enough to tell though. [/QUOTE]
