Some kinda ruby

I found some alluvial kimberlite and I'm fairly certain this is a ruby of sorts. I need to get my better camera back for some better picks but in any case all the other ruby included items I found were not like this one piece. Its impact diamond/ruby but I am new to this too. I was hoping it was painite but thats only found in a few asian countries so that dashes my hopes a bit. I only have this one shot, and I can post a few others of some similar material but different colors etc.

I was told alot of this is carbonado bruto but feel free to help me figure it out for sure.
These first two are the one, I have found some pink stuff and other colors and I would say different quality of crystal for various reasons (the one that is almost a duplicate but has my thumbnail in the second pic of what I think is a ruby). 20210523_180632_HDR (1).jpg20210526_193943.jpg20210526_195944.jpg20210523_180704 (1).jpgView attachment 18235ATTACH]20210526_220940.jpg20210523_181100.jpgIts 114 carats, 22.92 grams, .808 ounces. So not massive but ok.

Sure thing, I may send a piece off for testing but anything to big cost a whole lot of moolah so I will just mooch some extra brain power here for now. Surely some old rockhound can define these things a bit. I assume its just a multi-color red diamond but the term ruby might apply to.
