A friend of mine that's a mining engineer that's into rock-gem collecting told me about this place so I bought 100 carats of miscelaneous size and cut rubies for $40 bucks at www.thailand-gem.com out of their Los Angeles plant.They are absolutely beautiful and even gemologists have a very hard time distinguishing real rubies from lab created rubies.They are both identical in makeup being that they are corundum-aluminum oxide.Labs can create rubies and saphirres to be 100% exact but can't do it for diamonds and emeralds.My engineer friend has a Mohs scale and with both the lab ruby and a real ruby they came out to be 9.0 in hardness.
If you were to buy 100 carats of rubies that looked exactly like the one's I bought for $40,you would pay 500K to a million dollars.The one's I got were all nugets about 15 carats each.Big bling!If you hit the tabs on this website,you will find large lot buys,wholesale buys etc.look around.You can buy individual pieces,small orders,large orders.etc.Lots of variety.
Your wife or girlfriend will think you spent $$$$$$$$$ when you spent pennies.hehe!
