    Hi Nick. I hate to sound cynical, but I believe the real trick would
    be to find sources whose gemstones are NOT treated by the methods
    you mentioned. Many of them are in fact, usual, not unusual. Well,
    except the Zachery treatment. And most lasered diamonds of
    significance are disclosed on lab reports. 

    I fully understand your quest for a reference collection, as I am
    striving for the same, but I've always gone about it by dragging my
    portable gem ID equipment to gem shows to test in person. I regret I
    don't have any links to share, but I will let you know if I come
    across any. If you find sources, please let me know as well. Thank
    you.
