    I must tell you that if you get youself a GemLite UV light or
    something close and you get yourself a natural stone and then this
    MAN-MADE material you will see just what the GIA says is the best
    way to tell the differnts between the the natural and MAN-MADE
    mateiral. For a written artical call "Gems and Gemology" and
    Colored-Stone. There is only one way to be 100% sure and that is toi
    send it to a GTL but you can be 98% with a few simple test. If you
    have gotten your GG from the GIA in the past 2yrs you know how to
    tell the differnts with only a the GIA's " Basic Gem ID kit" the key
    is the UV light and the SG is differnt. I sell the VERY BEST
    MAN-MADE Amethyst in the world and I have to make sure that I do not
    confuse the Natural with the Man-made. But just like with the very
    BEST MAN-MADE diamonds the UV light will show the true from the
    MAN-MADE. 

    I am going to try and take some photos of the reaction to the UV
    light of natural amethyst and the a couple of differnt Man-Made
    amethyst stones. Since some people will not do this for themselfs I
    will do it. I just need to know how to send them to ganoksin so that
    everyone can see. I will also get the Book, Chapter and Page from a
    guy I know that has just finished his colored Stone ID course for
    his GG so I can post it on the digest also. SO all the people who
    say there is no test will see what the GIA is teaching GG's on how
    to hell the differnts. This is not that hard folks. When a person in
    this business say " YOU CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERNTS. OR IT IS
    IMPOSIBLE TO TELL STONES APART." They have yet to learn the test or
    they are hidding something.
