Diffusing it with Beryllium or some other material gives it eye popping colour, thus making very unattractive stones saleable. Now comes the least attractive material that is too brown and gray to get anyone to purchase on its own merit. Because the stone has been helped a little, pricing will be less than untreated material of comparable quality. Sometimes, mother nature didn''t quite make it as pretty so humans heat it to drive off any unpleasant undertones, giving it a purer hue so something that isn''t as nice is still "salvagable" and can be sold for a decent sum of money.

I didn't think asking others who purchased Padparadschas more often their opinion would be a problem, but I guess I was mistaken.

I have my skills base and I am happy to give advice in the areas I am experienced and knowledgeable in and the areas I am less knowledgeable in, I am always wanting to learn. I don't pretend to know everything about everything. I guess I have mistaken the purpose of this forum? I assumed it was a place people could freely share interesting stones they found and share knowledge with likeminded people.
