    Well if you dealt with AGTA members you would know how the stuff you
    sell is treated because the dealers are obligated to disclose
    treatment and treatment type. The JVC's main concern at the moment
    is blue topaz. The other stones that are treated they aren't quite
    sure what they are going to recommend at the moment. Yes they are in
    the process of assembling a group of industry representatives to meet
    with the NRC to try to resolve the issue. You should check out their
    website for more information. Incidentally, if word of this should
    reach the press and become public, you may very well have to remove
    all of these items from sale. Act proactively, nor reactively.
