It could be natural gemstone but has it been treated to get that colour with an even split right down the middle? I’m just curious because it seems too perfect.

He did tell me that he tests all of the stones before he puts them on his website.

What tests did he do?

Good question - I''ll email him and ask him and let you know what he says.

I emailed him and asked him what tests he does and this is what he sent back:

''I run all standard test on every stone that I buy. Test are conducted using a refractometer, polariscope, spectroscope, dichroscope, ultra violet, microscopic and dark-field microscopic examination, immersion cell using diffused light and specific gravity. I guarantee all my items with a no questions asked full money back guarantee. I stand behind all my gems with my reputation on the line all the time''.

I just sent an email to http://www.pacificgemlab.net/ which is close to where I live to find out how much it costs to get a stone verified as 100% natural just for curiosity. If it''s not too expensive, I think I''ll take this stone and an emerald that I got (from a different seller) that has a UGL cert that says it''s only treatment is cedar oil to find out if they are what they are supposed to be....

I''ll let you know what I find out.

I just wanted to let you know that these can be done by anybody with the right equipment at home. I don''t believe these would be conclusive and I can do all of them apart from one.

Having said that, the stone is very pretty and I think would be great as a pendant. My only concern with ever putting anything in an pendant is that I can''t see it all the time! Gem junkies should be equipped with mirrors on their shoulders to see their pendants!

VERY cool! I''m glad you like it IRL and it looks so much like it''s glamour shot.

Just buy a very long chain for your pendant and then you''ll be able to see your pendant while wearing it, no mirror needed!
