I've inheirited a large quantity of Chatham Rubies. Not knowing if they were real or not , I decided to send a bunch out for appraisal. All but one came back without an appraisal because the only place in North America that can appraise stones larger than 15 carats is G.I.A. in New York City. The one stone that was appraised was a 14.4 carat Emerald cut that came back at $5,500.00 retail appraisal. So to answer the question, "YES" they are worth quite a bit.

To the above, and as well as this question. Chatham and Corundum diffused gems (Sapphire & Rubies) are infact 100% real, and the most pure gems you can get. They are perfect in the sense that they have no imperfections. Gems made by Chatham diffusion are the height of purity as well as clarity and quality. They are synthetic, but by no means fake.
As such, the jewelry industry will try to tell you these gems are fake and that they are worth less because they know they can make thousands of dollars off mined gems which are of lower quality. For this reason, synthetic gems, though better looking and higher quality, are worth less. For example, a 1ct diamond might be worth say, 1000$, but a 1ct synthetic diamond would only be worth 100$
Chatham and Corundum diffused gems (Ruby & Sapphire as both of these gems are the same mineral [Corundum] ) aren't worth much, depending on the weight though they could be worth a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Are sand ruby's worth something?
Sand rubies are small pieces of red garnet, a semi-precious stone. While red garnets as small as one half caret are still valuable, sand rubies are very much smaller than a half a caret. There are folk artists who use them, kind of like glitter, they are hard to find and don't offer much in the way of monetary remuneration. The real worth in them is the time you spend panning for them.
How much is a 200ct ruby worth?
That depends on whether its a cut gem or not, I've seen 400-500ct rubies that were opaque auctioning off for over 30,000$ As such, I would assume that a 200ct ruby would be worth atleast 10,000 or more.
