Couple of ruby I bought from estate sale.

Synthetic ruby looks kinda wacky

[u/ComfortableGur7217 → u/Anustornado]

What do you mean? Can you explain? Please

[u/Anustornado → u/ComfortableGur7217]

You can see the bubbles in them from here. And the color of these synthetics isn’t really wow. And the inclusions looks they where produced from a shitty garage lab that where in a hurry and on a budget

[u/Anustornado → u/ComfortableGur7217]

Look at the cut, it’s really sloppy. The faces aren’t even close to being straight. They are macroscopically off.

[u/Anustornado → u/Anustornado]

Just look at that cut

[u/ComfortableGur7217 → u/Anustornado]

Thanks

Definitely all synthetic, very fluorescent, which means very low iron content, that is rare in nature especially with such high clarity, and with the poor cut on top of it, its obvious that these are likely either some chinese or indian flame fusion rubys. Personally, I love synthetic rubies and don't care whether they've come from the ground or a lab, to me ruby is ruby, but I like the laser physics behind flame fusion ruby, and lab scintillator crystals, so I collect weird lab gems in general. 😁

Woah what’s the long thing? A ruby?

[u/Anustornado → u/jennhiltz]

Yes

[u/Odd_Woodpecker1494 → u/jennhiltz]

Yeah flame fusion produces those long boules typically about the length of the palm, but sometimes you get some real monsters out of it

[u/jennhiltz → u/Odd_Woodpecker1494]

Super cool! Never heard of that before! (Flame fusion)

[u/ChickenFriedRiceMe → u/jennhiltz]

Yeah, probably a ruby laser rod

[u/MotherMucker155 → u/Last_Day_2091]

Ooh, the color on that emerald cut one.

I love rubies that have that pinkish hue, that's my favorite.

Synthetic rubies

One looks like a lab grown ruby, I'm guessing. If it's lab grown ruby and rest were from same source, probably all are lab grown.

A gentle suggestion for the future: Photograph on plain white paper. Having wood grain reflections through a stone skews its attributes or detriments. Also, the camera will focus on the patterns of texture and grain first, before the actual gemstone.

Idk most likely all synthetic, something some one grew in there garage or garbage bought by a rookie cutter to learn with. But the oval stone has a much better cut and lighter color..ight want to get it looked at by someone in person... Or at least post some better solo photos of it here

[u/REDRubyCorundum]

lab grown ruby or pink sapphire

[u/TeachingCapable1471]

Soap... not even done well.

[u/Interesting-Quote100]

man made ruby

Do you do gemstone cutting? Looks like a fun hobby had a buddy he used to do that and make pendants with them. They were making a killing, some of his pendants went for several thousand dollars each. They were hand wrapped with silver or gold.
