Hanuman,

    Thank you for the well thought out arguments concerning Ruby and
    pink Sapphire. 

    Since corundum is one of my favorite gemstones, I have had many
    discussions with clients over the years concerning the fine line
    between pink sapphire and ruby and the huge financial implications
    that may result. I must add that although I too believe a standard
    needs to be set using lighting that will produce the same results
    anywhere in the world, there is still the problem of color perception
    between one individual and another. 

    No matter how a gemstone is described, in this case Sapphire as
    compared to Ruby, the simple fact is that color, clarity, rarity,
    cut and durability are the factors that make a gemstone beautiful and
    not it's title. I will take a medium pinkish red Sapphire that has
    been well cut with lots of brilliance any day over a cloudy red and
    lifeless ruby. 

    Thank You Hanuman
