Answer: G'day and many thanks for your query
Your first gemstone you have described as being a ruby - but then say it is a dark red garnet? it can't be both so have you had them identified correctly?
Once that is done - an assuming they are already cut but not yet set (loose gems) - you can either try places like eBay just to get some idea by comparing - or use sites like gemval.
Remember though, that there is NO FIXED PRICE for gemstones.

It is what you, as a willing Buyer, is prepared to pay to a willing seller. The prices you see are guides - no more - plus the Trade pay an entirely different price than you might see in retail stores.
There is also an ONLINE gemstone appraisal service at:
http://www.gemstone-appraisals.com/ where you can fill in a simple online form and print a Gemmological Specification Lab Report.
Might be worth checking out but you should read everything on the site to understand just what an appraisal means.
Hope this helps and a Happy New Year...

Topaz Values Question:
I recently purchased an “Imperial” topaz gem from H. Stern in Brazil for a significant amount of money.
Upon returning to Canada and getting it appraised I found out that it (apparently) is pink/precious topaz.
The appraisal was a bit lower ($500 Canadian less) than what I bought it for, but still in the same ballpark.

Colored Diamond Values Question:
Hello, last week I found a 1.34Ct rootbeer colored diamond, cubic in shape with slight valley like fissures.
Stone reflects metallic with rootbeer flashes.
Would a stone such as this have a higher value to a collector, or to have, “someone professional?” evaluate it?
