I am Alexander from South Africa, I have a 60ct Cabochon Ruby, but do not know if it is real, I have done a hardness test, I have even sanded the stone on a piece of sand paper, and nothing happen to the stone, I have tried to see if I can see any bubbles but nothing, just on the outside of the stone looks like little sharp needles “Funny marks on the stone, but not marks from scratches. in the inside of the stone there is a slight inclusion but very small. either then that I can see nothing inside the stone.

please advise or tell me what I can use to make sure that this is a ruby, I also used a Ultra Violate Light.

Regards
Alexander
