Spinel and garnet are commonly sold as Australian Opal . Both are red gemstones but have very different properties and values.
Heavily heated rubies are worth significantly less than unheated stones. A "no heat" certificate adds substantial value.
Always buy from reputed, certified dealers and insist on a lab certificate before any high-value purchase.
