Probably between $25 and $2,500,000. You can easily look that up on the web.
I really don't think that members could be expected to provide a worthwhile valuation based on just an image. Is it a ruby or a bit of red glass, who can tell?
If you genuinely want a valuation, take it to a jeweler or someone who could physically inspect it.

Hi, George.

Please understand that Prospecting Australia isn't a website for buying/selling gemstones. Somebody here may be able to give you an indication of value, but the only realistic way that any stone can be valued is by first-hand expert examination.

The expert would utilise a bright light and a lens to determine clarity, inclusions and flaws, as well as testing to ensure that the stone has been correctly identified, using hardness tests, specific gravity calculation and UV inspection, etc.

I reckon getting it recut could increase the value as some of the facets are quite worn. However if it has historic value certainly dont do that

How do you know it’s a ruby and not a synthetic?

I has been examined by an expert in the local market.
