Great article. Lookes like it's No Certy no Appraisy Time. Classical gemology is a start, but not a finish. Some show typical inclusions some don't. bags of material for sale cheap. No immersion effects. Only definitive conclusion from advanced testing. Ouch.
Dear all, For those willing to get a bit more on blue sapphires and beryllium, I would like to invite you to read the article "Blue Sapphires and Beryllium, an Unfinished World Quest". It is now available online on the ICA website in the summer 2013 issue of InColor Magazine (page 36 to 43): http://www.gemstone.org
That article will take you from Madagascar to Afghanistan and finally Tasmania. You will understand the meaning of one of my favorite sentence: "Expect the unexpected"!
