Juliet lens colors

[Jason Vollrath]

I have been looking around at what people have for sale in terms of juliet lenses and have noticed some differences in the fire lenses. Some fire lenses have more of a gold look to them and others look more reddish/orangish. Then I saw a set of ruby ones that looked almost exactly like the fire ones I thought I had i my set. Is it possible I actually have ruby? I was pretty sure my serial number coincided with plasma/fire. Most pictures I saw were ones off ebay, which I know can have some fakes on it. Any thoughts?

Ruby is a neutral lens, albeit with something of a blue cast when looking through it. Fire is a contrast lens, so the two are very different to look through. More than enough to dispel any confusion when looking at them.

There should be a difference when looking through them...
Not always apparent when looking AT the Ruby gem
That's why we call the new Ruby a lens full of "Fruby"
Often confused both by elder and newbie

I recently had a seller make the same mistake. As others have said, I think the simplest tell is look at base tint of the lens. If you think it looks a little blue its ruby, brownish its fire.
