The reconstructed ruby, they say, is really made ii the laboratory so that it Is chem ieally identical with the finest rubies of Burma, and the differences are seen only in the interior lines and blbbles and in the crystalline formation.
 The sapphire, like the ruby, being of the corundum group, 1t was supposed that the blue stone could be made in the laboratory as readily as the red. But the so-called reconstructed sapphire turned out to be a doublet, composed of two pieces of quartz with blue coloring on the plane wnere they were cemented together. The latest reports from Paris indicate that the machine which turns ouC red rubies by the thousands cannot produce a single blue sapphire.
 The so-called reconstructed emerald also proved to be composed of two pieces of acquamarine joined as a doublet with green colorlng mixed with the cement, all ths work being done so siifully that to the naked eye the two stones looked as If they had always been one.
