His bestfriend is a gemologist and works for the IGA or whatever that gemological institute is, and he told me that like ten years ago, they bought the ruby loose from somewhere overseas and had it set into a ring. It's natural, whereas, supposedly, most to all rubies these days are manmade. Go figure! I am DYING to see this ring! It's at Christie's in London or somewhere.

No, actually, my dad is a science professor. He teaches geology and has an interest in gems and whatnot, but I had no idea he owned half of this stone! He said he just forgot about it. They recently put it up for auction.

Ok, supposedly, this is what it looks like. But it's bigger than this. My dad said they are having a hard time selling it because it's too big to wearChat Icon
