Yep, the bowtie shape was already pretty obvious in the previous page.
But I reckon that if it were a normal bowtie out of cloth, it would have shown as being significantly less "solid" in the X-ray scanner*.
* Given that rubies and other gemstones are partly transparent for visible light, I have unfortunately no clue if this is indeed a realistic portrayal of how you would see them under x-rays...
Don't get me wrong, obviously, doing thorough research and fact checking is laudable!
But I am just a hobbyist doing a comic here, I'm not writing a scientific article...
Also there is literal friggin' X-ray crystallography, a common method to examine the molecular structure of stuff via X-rays.
(E.g. the structure of the DNA got revealed that way!)
Hahaha! I like that guess!
Especially because it would not even be just a meta-reference, since it already has an (appropriately mysterious) in-universemeaning!
But here again, I have to give the same hint as last time: We have actually seen this character before!
(And even a few more times than the previous character!)

I mean, it looks like it kinda shows up? However, x-ray machines are one way to tell if something's a fake diamond.
