Hello Everyone: Flossie, welcome to the forum! In case you don’t know me, I am one of the gem professionals behind Rocks & Co. Regarding Tanzanite care, I pretty much echo everything that’s been said, but would like to take this opportunity to highlight some of the information resources we...

Hi Meeshoo: Accurate detection of irradiation and HPHT (high pressure high temperature) diamond enhancements is possible. Identifying irradiated colour enhanced diamonds, including greens, is a combination of several techniques including visual indicators (e.g. colour zoning, brown or green...

Hi Miss Magpie: No worries, always happy to oblige. While Patroke Kunzite’s times will be on banners on Shopping Telly later today, a banner on http://www.rocksandco.com/index.asp has the times (9pm Friday, 10pm Saturday & 10pm Sunday) as well as our online programme guide...

Hi Everyone: Shimoyo’s clarity has nothing to do with enhancements. While the vast majority of Shimoyo Rubellite is ‘natural’ (not enhanced or treated in any way), approximately 10 percent has been irradiated to improve their colour only. Please note that irradiated Tourmaline is almost...

Hi Miss Magpie: Thanks for your question and yes, it will really be this colour. We put a lot of time and effort into our photography, taking each picture in lighting conditions optimal for each variety. One of the queens of spice coloured Zircons (so named for their visual similarity to...

Hello Everyone: Once again, it is always interesting to learn your opinions and preferences. While chatoyancy is most visible in a direct, single beam of light, a well-cut cat’s eye gemstone is typically regarded as having a distinct straight ‘eye’ positioned in the centre of the gem as well...

Hi Everyone: Thank you very much for your thanks and support. While I’ll give you more precise dates closer to their launch, expect Pink Danburite and Cinnamon Zircon from the middle of May and Cat’s Eye Aquamarine towards the end of May. Those interested in Pink Danburite should not hesitate...

Hi Meeshoo: Thanks for your thanks and the feedback. The great thing about coloured gems is that there really is something for everyone! I always encourage people to educate themselves about marketplace opinions as they form their own colour preferences. While I’ll leave the pink versus red...

Hi Everyone: Just want to thank you all for your interest in Shimoyo Rubellite. It truly is an incredibly beautiful and rare gemstone, and as I’ve said previously, it’s collectively the best Rubellite I have ever seen (and I’ve seen a few :4:). But much like a fine bottle of wine, you get what...

Hi Topaz: While on-air promos and presenter mentions should give you advance notice, I’ll see what I can do. I am actually based in Thailand, so I the time difference could be a factor. Regardless, I’ve asked the schedulers to give me the heads up and I’ll do my best to keep my friends at...

Dear Sesinuk: Thanks for your patronage and the post. Meeshoo is correct, as per our ‘Gemstone Enhancements & Care’ webpage Rocks & Co. guarantee that none of our Tanzanite (including AAA Tanzanite) is coated. While these situations are frustrating, it’s not the first time I’ve had to deal...
