If there is a blue glowing spot just inside the glass but not within the tube's elements, your tube is probably OK.

If there is a violet glow within the tube's elements as Phlogiston's photo shows above, your tube is bad, period, end of story.

Note: Not applicable to gas-filled rectifiers or thyratrons.
