Hi Leslie,

    David Weinberg of multicolour is a nice guy and I'm sure he'll
    answer all your questions. He helped me out in the past without
    knowing who I was. 

    As Barbra pointed out, the best thing to get educated is seeing the
    stones yourself. And I agree that the AIGS is a very professional and
    fine lab. 

    When buying in that price category, I would defenatly want a
    certification. 

    As said AIGS is good, in the USA AGTA is the best place for coloured
    stones. Both labs are run by fanatic gemlovers who are highly
    trained.

Alain
