In short: For ruby (Yaqoot), a lab report matters most on treatment, because a heated ruby, a glass-filled ruby and an unheated ruby can look alike yet are valued very differently. The lab also separates synthetics and look-alikes such as red spinel and garnet. Send any ruby's link on WhatsApp, and you see the report before you pay.

What the lab checks on ruby

Heating: altered inclusions and dissolved silk show the stone was heated, sometimes with flux residue left in healed fractures.
Lead-glass filling: heavily fractured rubies filled with glass, often called composite ruby, show blue flashes and trapped bubbles.
Synthetics: flame-fusion and flux-grown rubies are common; the lab looks for curved growth lines and flux patterns.
Look-alikes: red spinel, garnet and glass are separated by refractive index and spectroscopy.
