Real value of ruby gemstone 

Color can be controversial in determining the quality of the striking gemstone, with other corundum gems sneakily crossing into Sapphire territory. 

In terms of classifying Rubies, the process is highly dependents on the dominant hue, which is preferred as a fluorescent red. A finer Ruby is known to resemble a “pigeon’s blood” shade with high chromium content and soft features.
