I'm so glad you're getting those two items appraised! I will want to know what is said ASAP!
And oh, how I hope it goes well for you!

Re: Burmese Ruby
I think it's safe to say that EVERYONE on here will be waiting with baited breath, and that EVERYONE hopes it goes well for you!

Re: Burmese Ruby
Still, I meant it not just because of the obvious, but I meant it more "personally."
I don't want anyone to get scammed, but it would really upset me if your appraisal wasn't what you hoped.

Re: Burmese Ruby
In another post, I tell the story of two gems: Amethyst and aquamarine (they were loose gems). They are really pretty and they were appraised. But this composite stuff is not worth it to be appraised. Not all Burmese Ruby means quality. That's why there are grades in gems from high to low. A high grade Burmese Ruby is found probably in the Crown Jewels or a museum.

Re: Burmese Ruby
Hey RS, I did see Cheryl more than once shining a light on the stones to show their “phosphorescence” or whatever. Wasn’t sure if that’s what you were wondering about earlier.

Re: Burmese Ruby
Actually I was talking about whether the stones were treated in any way. I asked while they were presenting and I didn’t get an answer.

Grizzy: That light is called ultraviolet light.
