    I have cleaned hundereds of gemstones (mostly cabochons) with Dow
    Corning "Sight Savers" and have not scratched one. I think there may
    be some confusiion over the words Silocone and Silicon. Silicon is a
    metalic element and could scratch some materials. Silicone is a
    chemical compound that is used as a lubricant. In fact is is so slick
    that it can be used on the Space program Shuttles and other objects
    operating at sub-zero conditions.  Sight Savers are slick.
