    Wouldn't GREENED Amethyst be correct over GREEN Amethyst? This name
    was used for years without a problem. Which is exactly what it
    is.... I guess I'm really getting old.... I sometimes think we have
    lost all perspective about the product we are offering. Gems are one
    of natures most beautiful and romantic products. There is not one
    gemstone out there that anyone really needs and a little romance
    added to the sale sometimes makes it more appealing. Don't ever
    think for one minute that I don't believe in disclosure because I
    certainly do. However, don't lose track of what gemstones are all
    about. DeBeers built a Dynasty by romancing the stone with it beauty
    and lore. Colored stone dealers are still " shooting themselves in
    the foot" by arguing among themselves and telling each other how
    smart they are by waving their GG certificates at each other. Think
    about it.... Our beautiful products have become second rate all
    because we are managing to scare the consumer to death with all our
    rhetoric. Again, I say, I support disclosure. Perhaps if we explained
    normal and acceptable enhancements as being like a lady wearing a
    little lipstick.... It hasn't changed the lady, it just enhanced her
    appearance. Please slow down a little and don't destroy one of
    natures most beautiful and rarest of gifts.
