Please help - Unheated Natural Burmese Ruby 1 caret

[HKRita]

Hi there! I am new to this, recently bought this natural ruby. 1 caret at Yangon. It was certified by a local lab called FAG. The report said red but actually more purple to my lay person eyes. Also I used the 30x microscope to check. Looks like it has a tiny crack on the side. But the seller said it is inclusion. The report also didn't mention about crack. Because it is not so expensive and it is small, not planning to send to GRS or Gubelin for a real certificate. I have paid USD1600. What do you think? Overpriced?? This cert only cost USD13. Attached the report.

The lab report is likely useless. $1600 is a lot of money for a gem that could end up nearly worthless if it has been dyed, facture-filled, etc. I would highly recommend not investing anywhere near that amount of money without a credible lab report from a place like AGL or GIA.
