Cheap rubies can cost $2 per carat up to $10,000 or more for nice ones.
I have bought many in India and the cost does not depend on the country but the quality
Not that much
Nothing at all...
I inherited a Rubie ring with one center Rubie about 4 carat and two 1 carat rubies on either side. the stones are extremely clear and was estimated to be worth over 100,000.00 in the early sixties. not sure what it's worth today. Are diamonds carat weight and size about the same as rubies?
If it is from mozambique and is eye clean, certified, well cut and very red $2000 ++. If from Burma and the same condition....$1500 ++
Please be specific. There's no one answer for that. A low, .1 carat ruby of low quality, is essentially garbage. A high quality, good color ruby that's in excess of 10 carats in a single gem, can stack up into the hundreds and thousands per carat. It all depends on those important factors! There are some nice guides online, take some time to read them. Buy books. Educate yourself; Always worth it.

The price of a ruby depends on its color, cut, clarity and carat weight. A .50 carat, round, VS clarity and purplish-red ruby is for about $2500.
it cost $200-$1,000
It cost $20.00 new
Without having the ruby in front of a gemologist there is no way to tell. Rubies are graded much the same way that diamonds are. They are graded on Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat with the exception that color has much more impact on the value. Please see the link below for a better understanding of the grading process.

The carat weight of the stones can be measured by a certified gemologist.

Both can be equally expensive. But emeralds can be more expensive at times. To cite an example of how the colour and clarity of a stone can make it so valuable, in 1998 a 5.16 carat untreated, slightly bluish green eye clean Colombian emerald was sold at twice the rate of a diamond the same size and of highest quality! But in the normal market emerald can cost anywhere from usd 10 per carat to usd 3000- per carat depending on whether it is small, medium or large or has an unmatched grade. In general a good quality ruby of 3 ct size should cost around US$100 per carat to US$ 500 per carat. In case of burmese rubies one can double or triple the above estimates.
