Hey Folks,
I just finished reading an excellent article discussing flux heating and healing of Burmese Rubies and i'm just wondering how often this is actually disclosed at the retail level in stores or do they simply market these rubies as 'natural' ?
I guess the averare retail customer is likely to have no idea what that would mean on a certification certificate anyway!
Article link here and definitely worth a read:

I'm starting to get better at recognising some of these treatments as I practice more with my loupe but its been an interesting journey learning that there are many pitfalls for unaware purchases of corundum.
Cheers
