Ruby prices at vendor seems strange

[rpgbuff]

Anyone bought from multicolour.com?

Their ruby prices seems weird. Tons of rubies with only heat or no enhancements are under $200 for 0.8 or 0.7 carats.

Are these rubies Be treated but misidentified in the treatment section? What is wrong with them?

Overly dark/giant windows/highly included/undesirable color modifiers. Some look a bit better than others, but in general I think you are going to get what you pay for. Ugly rubies can be overpriced (in malls, on TV, etc.); I think MC's pricing is pretty fair.

Those are pretty dark, with purple modifiers, one has a big window, the other has a lesser window, but weird extinction.

So, color sucks, cutting sucks. But the main thing is color.

He's a very reputable dealer, but not all unheated rubies are $$$$. Like any gem, there are various qualities. At least he's not overcharging for that particular quality, just because they're rubies and unheated.

+1. Those rubies have colour, clarity and cut issues and thus are priced accordingly.
