Ruby. More expensive that diamond at times. The most expensive ruby to my knowledge is the 25.59 carat Sunrise Ruby which sold at auction in 2015 for $30,420,000.00. Rubies wholesale to the trade today for approx. $70 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $35,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. The price goes up to well over $100,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup. My price is always much lower than the retail replacement figure used by brick and mortar stores: I bought my gems directly from the source, not through various middlemen. Huge difference,
