A dialogue within the gemstone industry regarding these reports has focused on the terminology used to describe these observations, rather than on the possible reality and existence of the treatments. This dialogue has confused the issue to the point where clarification is essential if the problem of actually dealing with these treatments, rather than arguing about how to describe them, is to be addressed. © Joel E.

No, it hasn't focused on the terminology. It has focused on the science (or lack thereof).

Great conclusion Raw Rocks. Does anyone care any more. I personally am tired of hearing about it. If anyone is stupid enough to buy anything with the name Andasine, they deserve to be scamed. Surely there are more important things going on in the world.

Indeed there is. :wink:

This ain't no game for a blind man. :wink:

With all the information there is available to anyone with access to the internet, there is absolutely no reason for an individual to be uninformed on any subject.

Fool me once, shame on you...

Fool me twice, shame on me....

I appreciate the post too, RAWrocks. The article contains a great deal of useful information. I found Arem's expert speculations on how copper-bearing feldspars are formed extremely interesting.
