Very interesting thread, it was a real pleasure to read...
It would be quite interesting to have an update on the subject now that it has been almost 3 years since all this was written.
How have the prices and market situation evolved?

Hi Lemmiwinks:

Be treated goods (from what I have seen) are no longer the poor cousin.

Prices are high for an obviously treated gem (gem quality outside of treatment) seems to be the decideing factor. size clarity etc the better it isthe higher the price. doesn't seem to be leting up .. people are buying it.

What do you mean for "high"?

hi Alberto:

hmm well at one time there seemed to be a race to give them away. now the price is up and seems to get higher every time I look. Have to admit that some of the colours are very appealing though.
