Went and got my ruby appraised and sure enough its filled with glass. They basically bought a ruby whole sale and convinced me that they cut it but its only worth $20. I called Ruby and Gold Mine in Cherokee and told them that I had it looked at and its filled with glass and I got a ear full. They said send them the paperwork on the appraisal to prove it (thats gonna cost me another $100 and they expect that you wont do it). I told them if I do that then I will have to proceed legally to try and get everything I put in it back and then I heard nothing but shouting that they dont take threats.. on and on.. So i will apparently need to find a lawyer and see if I have any grounds to get my money back. They lied to me that they cut it in house.. not possible with glass in it.. then they lied that its worth $1200 both before I paid for it to be cut and after.. then they lied that "they are cutting the rock that i found" for $85 per carat. So their business is based on lies.
