♦ Instead of using your fingernails to scratch the ruby stone, you can use a one cent coin but keep away from the surface in order not to be damaged and scratch the underside of the stone.
♦ Genuine rubies are hard and this why you can rub a ruby against a white porcelain tile without leaving any color behind on the tile. A genuine ruby can also scratch the tile without leaving any colored marks.
