Oh yeah, it's always those communists and drug dealers and russians being rich. Fuck's sake.

    Ruby crystals and ruby gemstoes are wholly different things. While the original stone is large, you don't need to be a gemologist to know the rubies that go for $30 mil (the ones the South African Chinese oil traffickers like to buy) don't look like dyed marble. They look like a clear cut piece of coloured glass.

    This is "the world's biggest ruby" the same way I'm the world's biggest marxist (by volume and nothing else).
