[QUOTE="The Green Wanderer, post: 178375, member: 784"] Not to worry Gallic, many times a lapidarist will take a slightly flawed or pale coloured gem and heat it carefully to a certain degree. This can remove surface impurities as well as enhance the overall colour of the stone, I dont think Kingsolomon is suggesting he would try and perform a colour change by irradiation at home. It would be far safer and economic to send the stones away to be changed in a laboratory. Beautiful stone btw Kingsolomon, true craftmanship. [/QUOTE]
