Read the Ruby

There are some gemstones in the British crown jewels that are not what they seem.  The Black Prince's Ruby is not a ruby at all but a red spinel.  The stone at right certainly looks like a ruby, but smells of deceipt.  Could it be one of the fine stones from Macy's?  Perhaps. But don't get your salivary glands all up and running.  This stone is not a ruby. It turns out to be Oregon Sunstone.  I won't tell you where they dug this up.  You'll need to figure that out on your own.
