This is a very nice CERTIFIED natural ruby from Madagascar...EYE CLEAN...2,58cts...9,07 x 6,57 x 3,88mm... Heat and filled
For explanation of filled ruby
Small cracks or fractures in a gemstone can interrupt the flow of light through the stone, creating white or "dead" spots in the color of the stone. Sometimes these fractures–if they reach the surface of the stone–will be filled with material that will allow the light to pass through smoothly.
The process of fracture filling ruby with transparent lead glass is a recent innovation that began about 2004 in Chanthaburi, Thailand. Rubies of good color, primarily from Madagascar, that are disfigured by fissures or surface cracks can be "repaired" using heat treatment with lead glass. The refractive index of corundum and lead glass are very similar, allowing light to travel through the stone, improving the color and clarity. These rubies are often found in large sizes at a fraction of the cost of untreated ruby of similar color. So they represent an excellent value in the market, so long as the treatment is disclosed and the price is appropriate.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
