    Hi, I have a question for the lapidaries on the list.  A friend
    brought me a sterling silver ring set with a 3ct synthetic ruby.  The
    stone was a lighthouse lens cut.  Can anyone give me a little history
    about this cut?  I was also hoping to get an idea of the worth of a
    stone like this.  She was told the cut would make the stone worth
    $70-100 retail.  I'm a little skeptical about this number since it is
    a synthetic stone so I was hoping for a more informed opinion. 

Thanks,
Kristen
