gemstone could have symmetrical facets from all the sides of stones. Moreover,
the facets of the natural ruby stone will be soft and smoother; on the other
hand a synthetic ruby stone will have daffy facets which are easily recognized.

Check the stone closely, if you come across
any bubbles or gas streak then it is clear indication of a fake ruby gemstone.
Moreover, if you spot a ruby gemstone without any tiny flaws; so it is clear
indication that the stone is fake. It is extremely difficult to find an
original ruby gemstone without even a single inclusion. Therefore, a small or
few inclusions in the ruby stone is acceptable.

gemstone with fancy names as such "cultured ruby gemstone" "pure

To spot the high quality ruby gemstone
compare it with the piece of glass. If in case it seems extensively difficult
to distinguish between a glass and ruby. Then it is a fake ruby stone.

To know whether the ruby gemstone is real try

manik or ruby gemstone; then it is a fake or synthetic ruby stone. Since, ruby
is hard metal; on the hardness scale it occupies second position just after the
diamond. Thus, it is almost impossible to find a scratch mark on the certified
ruby gemstone.
