Wow $3000 oh may god. Truely there is nothing additional enhancer of this Ruby. Just heat and repeat heat near boiling point.Ruby mined from the earth are natural. Rubies grown in a laboratory are man made.
If your ruby, from the ground, has been heated - it is heat treated. If it was heated with Beryllium it is heated and BE treated. If it was heated with flux to seal any cavities or cracks, it’s is “glass filled”.
Ruby are usually heat treated to improve clarity (dissolve silk) and this is an acceptable treatment for a natural ruby but high heat with additives to improve colour and/or materials to fill in fissures or cracks is considered unacceptable and the ruby called “enhanced or composite”.
Apart from origin, colour and carat weight an unheated untreated ruby is obviously worth the most and the price goes down with just heat but if it’s it Beryllium treated or fissure filled the value is mere dollars regardless of colour, size or origin.
Buyer today require reputable lab certificates before buying any expensive ruby because while a natural, unheated ruby might be $3,000 to $10,000 per carat, a invasively treated ruby is worth like $10.
If you want your gem valued, you should first obtain a lab report that details treatments and then seek out an appraiser,
I didnt add any impurity at all. Just raw ruby. Thats why i said natural.High heat is 1300C
Ruby is reconstituted at 2000C
Heating to 3000C sounds very extreme and might be classified as synthetic or reconstituted. I highly doubt any lab will consider this ruby as natural due to the extreme treatment.

Trust me. It's truely melted raw ruby. Nothing add to it. Thats is why i'm asking the opinion.Are you sure it is ruby? It seems an unusual orange/ brown underlying tint. And why was the stone heated to so high? You say to “near boiling point”,
What was wrong with the gem before that made it needing such high heat?
The type of accepted heating is “low heat” and it is just for dissolving the rutile or silk inclusions that can make a gem look translucent.
A natural ruby, even high heat treated should still have some microscopic evidence of being a natural ruby. A lab ruby, one that is grown artificially, has certain different characteristics ie gas bubbles or curved striae and a total lack of other crystals to that of natural rubies have.
More advanced lab testing can detect if the gem has the correct trace elements or not.
These days lab grown rubies are incredibly sophisticated because people are trying to make or sell gems as natural rubies because they are worth so much money. This is why people buying rubies only accept the top lab reports, they don’t want to be tricked into paying $5,000 for a $10 gem. I don’t know where you are but the GIA has offices in many countries and Lotus Gemology is in Thailand. You might have to send it away to get a proper lab report if you want to sell it.
It will show orange and yellow spark sir. Its tanzanian red orange ruby that Indonesian people love it. In Indonesia it called padparadscha but Ruby not sapphire.Why no photos of stone on a white background?
So there is no point i lab it. It will Deportes man made rubyOk, so am I understanding this correctly, you actually turned natural ruby pieces ? into a “molten state” to create a new crystal?
If that’s the case, it would classify as “man made ruby” not natural.
Natural refers to the state of the gem crystal ie you dig the ruby crystal out of the ground, you facet it into a gemstone shape and that’s a “natural” ruby.
Any process that involves “creating” a crystal or material that you then facet into a gemstone shape whether from pieces of natural ruby or a mixture of Alunimum Oxide with Chromium, that’s “man made”.
Im not getting it cheap. Do you now high temperature sintering furnance. You can buy rough and melted your self. It just if $50 per carat at least 1000 carat or better i sell it blok. 5kg per block. I don't know.Sounds like a type of synthetic ruby I’ve seen before. They were going for like $50/carat. So if you are getting it cheap and don’t mind it for what it is, that’s fine. Otherwise I will stay far away.
Do not make me high. It took a month to create it. It just if i had 100K USD. It will be enough to create 5-10kg of it. This one i rent the furnance (small and extremely dangerous). I want to buy the furnance my self even it's not save. Truely high voltage .I am not sure if it is technologically possible to melt a ruby and reconstruct it into a new stone. However, if the specimen you have are inclusion free under 120x microscope, you must patent it! Technically speaking your stone is a great candidate for replacing diamond (with high N) in quantum computer. You will make billions instead of a few thousand dollar
Diamonds and Corrundum have completely different chemical composition.I am not sure if it is technologically possible to melt a ruby and reconstruct it into a new stone.

Yes still Corrundum but “man made”.By the way it's not new stone. Still corundum
