Rubies are the most valuable stones whilst garnets are not. Ruby stones are harder and much more expensive as compared to garnets.

Light

Spectrum is a way for determining if your gemstone is a garnet or a ruby. Just hold your gemstone up to bright light and move it till the rainbow is created around a stone. Consider the spectrum or rainbow, if there are green and yellow bands, your gemstone is not a ruby. The rubies have a nature of absorbing yellow and green colour in the rainbow. On the other hand, Garnets reflect small bands of green and yellow colour.

Colour

Both garnet and a ruby appear in red, but if you put both the stones aside, the colour of garnet will turn pale as compared to the fiery red colour of the ruby. 

Another way for differentiating between a ruby and a garnet is the presence of other colours within the stone. If there is a bit of orange shade in the gemstone, it is likely a garnet.
