Natural vs Treated Gemstones

Treatments can enhance color or clarity. Transparency matters more than the treatment itself.

Natural, Untreated

No known enhancements. Typically rare and priced accordingly.

Treated

Heat or other treatments are common in the trade. We always disclose treatment type and provide certification when available.

Buyer Guidance

Ask for the report, review the disclosure, and confirm pricing aligns with treatment status.
