[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 106325, member: 2976"] Fair enough answer. I was merely going on what sounded like an argument that most Aussie sapphires were second-grade rubbish that can't be faceted without prior treatment when this is simply not the case. And I keep coming across people who I would have thought [b]know[/b] what the truth is who seem oblivious, such as the facetor who still argues that lighter-coloured blues do not exist on the Anakie field. Dad once dug a blocky-shaped green about 30 carats with shiny faces - when taken to a jeweller, the bloke insisted it was just a piece of green glass. A jeweller who could not tell the difference between a good rough sapphire and a piece of broken bottle. [/QUOTE]
