    Call RS Importing in New York 212-719-0087. They carry these coated
    topaz stones and can answer your questions about the process used to
    coat them. Most companies that deal with coated stones disclose it.
    Secondary or tertiary people may not. 

    You will never be able to cut a coated stone without losing the
    coating.
