Re: JTV selling beryllium diffused "sunset sapphires" for $$

i have to admit iv been watching/buying from jtv for almost 6 yrs. i bought some andesine when it hit the market as a new stone-i did not buy much but it was cheap-the story was it was found in riverbeds in the congo to the mountains in the asias-mostly red & a little green-come to find it was almost all made in china by diffusing treatments to make a long story short-many class action suits were bought against JTV which were settled in many ways + all who bought any were offered refunds no questions asked-i think this was the nose of the camel in the tent start of people starting to look closely at all of their sales-a fellow named scott who usually sells gems should do politics or standup comedy-as the joke goes [u can tell he lying by watching his lips move]-the wife & i view their sales as more comic & we both watch with air sickness bags at the ready-as soon as scott says my friends, we grab our bags & get ready-almost anything they sell is suspect by todays standards-they stand behind their sales but those who now know DONT-steve...

Oh well my mother has spent at least $40k on this type of junk over the last 15 years. And she never wears any of it. LOL! I am sure they get repeat buyers like Mom who can't sleep, puts on the telly and thinks "Oh my that is pretty, and what a good buy". No need to educate her on gemstones as that is not the motivation of the purchase.

Hi Lisa,
Long time, no hear. Glad to have you back in CS. Sorry about your mother, and that's a pity she's spent all that money.
