I am asking this question as I recently saw a very inexpensive ruby being sold by a popular cutter. I asked if the ruby had been fissure filled, and he replied that it had been heated and that he cut the stone himself. Its about a half carat being sold for a little under $50. He seems like a really honest guy...any chance he''s been duped into buying filled rough? Or does filling occur only after a gem has been cut?
