The gaudy red ring that helped initially identify the corpse of Iranโ€™s Major Gen. Qassem Soleimani is no Hope Diamond, according to local jewelers.

 

Dealers believe the distinctive ring worn by Soleimani is either a red carnelian stone โ€” believed by some Middle East Muslims as able to bestow โ€œblessingsโ€โ€“ or possibly an inexpensive ruby that would cost a few hundred bucks.

 

โ€œFrom the photo, it looks like itโ€™s a carnelian stone โ€” itโ€™s not a ruby; it comes from Africa,โ€ said Maykel Rieth, a professional cutter for R Gems Inc on West 48th Street.

 

โ€œThe ring is made out of silver,โ€ he continued.

 

โ€œIt could be white gold, but it looks like silver โ€” and whoever made a stone like this is not going to put it in gold because itโ€™s not an expensive piece.โ€
