    Ms. Miller, The Federal Trade Commission Guidelines require that the
    sellers of gemstone disclose any and all treatments, the nature  of
    the treatment, etc., on the receipt at time of sale. Members of the
    American Gem Trade Association do so all the time. 

    I would NEVER buy from someone who will not state, IN WRITING, on the
    receipt, whether the stones or natural or treated. There are no free
    lunches in this world, the gem world is RIFE with misrepresentation
    and the people who are looking for  some great deal are the prey of
    these scammers. Buy your stones from a known source who obeys the
    rules and with whom you have recourse.  There IS a going rate for
    gemst ones, and those who would have you think you can get fine
    quality for the price of junk are misleading you....EVERY time. 

    Use your common sense and be cautious. 

    Wayne Emery
