The picture of this stone is not very good.It does not show the full color.This is a very bright RED Stone.This is a Vintage Stone & has been in storage for many years.

Confused as well. Glass, Ruby and stone are all used in your description. Which is it?

The box reads red glass carbuncle.

Besides the term carbuncle having not been used by gemologists for a *long* time, it usually meant a red stone (such as a garnet, rarely a ruby), and never meant glass. I think that's why jamslio99 is as confused as I am. In present times, a carbuncle is an infected hair follicle.

I'm not a gemologist.These GLASS CARBUNCLES have been in storage for many years.The writing on the boxes was put there by the manufacture.The man that these items belonged to had passed away many years ago & his wife locked everything up & left it sit.He had a specialty buisiness in CHICAGO,ILLINOIS Years ago.

Plus, you use the term "stone" Four times in your description, and three more times in your comment.

Just trying to get it cleared up. So you know, if you list more, a "stone" refers to a natural (or sometimes professionally lab-grown) gemstone. Glass is glass. A piece of flat jewelry glass like that is referred to as a cabochon.
