Did everyone see this!?
Here we go again-more glass filled rubies purchased in Afghanistan. A US soldier paid $60 per carat for the emerald cut 2.9 carat stone and $50 per carat for the two pears that are 1.80 carat each. We get to tell him the bad news. A jeweler here can buy them for $2 per carat-which is still a bad ...investment given the way the material disintegrates with normal wear and cleaning.

We just had one of our stone dealers send us a lead filled ruby to use for educating people on them, he informed us that sadly they are flooding the market!See More
