Hi,
Pardon my ignorance, would someone kindly enlighten me on why heat treated rubies with flux will result in different levels of flux remaining in the rubies? Is it by chance or does it have to do with the number of inclusions or severity of inclusions to begin with?
I refer to GRS grading of H(a), H(b), H(c) and H(d). H(a) has less than 0.001ct of residue, H(b) has minor residue, H(c) has residue, H(d) has major residue. Why does this matter if flux is used anyway?
