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!

This is what worries me about GOLD!!! There will come a time in the somewhat near future where IMO they will be able to do this to GOLD which will bring it's value down to zero...

Nano of course...

until she showed it off to her friends and realized the truth...won't be pretty.

dude, i dont get it. im supposed to give my girl a bag o' fake rubies?

happy valentines day.... (toss)

[ShamsWoof10]

My question is how close to exact would they have to be to be considered real themselves...?

[thebigguy]

Do not buy them to big otherwise you will raise suspicion.

Buy some small pieces.

very nice, just nobody to buy them for

Let me give y'all a little hint: Most gals that I've come across who are worth keeping would rather get a $40 gift that they know cost $40 than a $40 gift that is yacked up to be a $1,000 gift only for them to find out later it was really a $10 gift and you gave four of them out.

I would say most of us would agree with this...

On the other hand it's like telling her she doesn't look fat in a certain dress... It's a f*ckin' stone who cares it's in her mind it's real...like a spouse not being honest about a certain minor question...and please don't anyone say this is major because it's just a f*ckin' rock...

Gold is a chemical element. A ruby is an aluminum oxide plus chromium compound. Hence, a synthetic ruby could be created by a fusion of aluminium, oxygen and chromium. Synthetic gold can only be made by using gold as a base . See the difference? Another conspiracy theory out of the window, although I'm sure you'll point me to numerous ramblings from the internet and youtube videos to prove your "point".

I didn't say it IS being done dipsh*t... I never compared the two either so while you are looking for ways to try and stick it to me you'll have to do better then this...

Furthermore I highly doubt you have much knowledge on Nano Tech. so if we assume that Nano does not exist then fine you're right... If we assume that it may be possible to rearrange things at the atomic level (ummm like atoms maybe) then it will become possible to change ELEMENTS!!!!

Taco doesn't use the internet or youtube videos to prove his point.? What does he use..? SHUT UP TACO!!! That statement is as stupid as your avatar!
