[QUOTE="Heatho, post: 395894, member: 487"] Heat treated does not mean man made, a lot of natural gems are heat treated to improve colour and clarity and subsequently value if done successfully. Most of the stones in the link you posted are generally poor quality even though they say "facet rough". Those ruby and sapphire specimens are true junk stones, I've tossed way better stones before. :) The manufactured sapphires look great and always do, they are true man made ones which are always very cheap. Be careful with Grays, my friend has bought som,e really poor quality stuff on there before such as sheets that were just rubbish. The emeralds look real and are a good price but I'd be wary of the disclaimer also...... "Important: Images should be used as a guide only. Colours may display differently due to computer monitor variations. Please check description for colour details." [/QUOTE]
