Basically a Mahaleo ruby or glass filled ruby is a low quality ruby. Often the ruby has so many fractures that it appears opaque and brown instead of red. These fractures are then filled with lead glass.
Because of the addition of lead glass the clarity and color are dramatically improved. Creating a valuable looking ruby that in its natural form could not even be cut.
The Problem With Mahaleo RubyUnfortunately there are disadvantages as well. The main one being that it is far more fragile than a real ruby. Taking care of a glass filled ruby is far harder because a simple household cleaning product can already damage it. Let alone a professional cleaning agent.
Mahaleo rubies are rubies that have been altered. They are "real rubies" that have cracks, fissures, etc and are "fixed" with molten glass. Buyer beware... Just remember that you do truly "get what you pay for!"
Mahaleo ruby is a fissure filled stone. It is a cracked ruby that has been filled in with lead glass that makes it so it is unable to be cut in its natural state. So it can be sold at a cheaper value.
You can only identify if a ruby is real through appropriate equipment or/and under a microscope. With reference to what a real ruby looks like, under a microscope, you will be able to identify imperfections, the color is a very vivid red and they are scratch proof.
no a ruby on the Mahs'hardness scale is about a 9 (really close to a diamond) it would take a fall from about 3-6 miles in the air to shatter a ruby
First of all, you didn't tell us whether it was a ring or a brooch or a pendant, second, HGE means hard gold electroplate. Its not gold, or a real ruby.
