Ruby or Garnet…place your guess in the comments! 💎 I’m a Gemmologist and I’ve been sent this ring to identify. I’ve already looked at it with my eye, with my loupe and used the refractometer but I thought I’d take the opportunity to show you the polariscope! The polariscope identifies whether a gemstone is singly or doubly refractive. As singly refractive gemstone will remain dark, when rotated 360°, whereas a doubly refractive gemstone will go from light to dark when rotated 360° in most cases

Sapphire miners along the Umba River in Tanzania were the first to find malaya garnets in the 1960s. However, gem dealers in East Africa didn't want them, as they didn’t fit the mold of any of the known garnet types. These miners dubbed them malaya, the Swahili word for "outcast."
