Ron,

    True the crystals from whence most gemstones are wrought are the
    flowers of the mineral kingdom until they are dynamited, cut up,
    crushed, stuck in a nuclear reactor, heated, chemically altered,
    vacuumed, inclusion sucked, bleached dyed, glued, lasered, sliced,
    and put back together and sold as real gemstones in thousands of
    venues. Yeah they are real at the atomic level. Unless you put your
    hand into the vugg to pull out the flowers of the mineral kingdom or
    spend some money on lab testing you have no way of knowing if the
    stone has been treated The average consumer buys this stuff by the
    ton without knowing or many times without caring if it is or has been
    enhanced. The true flowers of the mineral kingdom are rare as are the
    customers that are knowledgeable about and request such stones.
