I'm trying to figure out if the ruby I have is authentic or not. I've heard there are ways to verify its genuineness, but I'm not sure how to do it. Can someone guide me on how to check if my ruby is real?

The authenticity of a ruby can be tested by scratching a hard, flat surface with it.

A piece of glass serves as an ideal surface for this test due to its hardness and smoothness.

When a fake ruby is used to scratch the glass, a strip of red color will remain on the surface.

This red residue is a clear indication that the ruby is not genuine.

On the other hand, a real ruby will never leave any color behind when scratching a glass surface.
