jnt Rough Rock Total Posts: 24 Last Post: 8/13/2004 Member Since: 6/24/2004	I need to find two nice (clear and not white) aquas for a pair of earrings. Want something about .8-1.25 range. Prefer an emerald cut that is almost a square. Where should I look...anyone know any good dealers. I have found some wonderful aquas in the Dallas area...however nothing in that size (no 8 carat earrings wanted). Also, heat treated vs not heat treated...ideas, thoughts. I heard that heat treating a stone will cause it to fade over time.

Fracture filling and dying, on the other hand, are not, so those are treatments to be wary of. The non-heat-treated prices are higher because of rarity value. Me, I want it to look nice, and be sturdy, and the rarity isn't an issue to me, though it is to others.

It should not be a problem to find the stones you are looking for jnt, perhaps a little more difficult in a squarish emerald. To bad you are not looking for concave cut trillions, those I have in house. As for heat treating, I think you should just about assume that any aquamarine you buy is heat treated. I do not know for sure whether or not all heat treating is detectible on aquas, but I do know that it would be a very rare stone not to be heat treated these days.

Some deep color aquas have recently been offered by All that Glitters <LINK> - but I would guess you need to ask for a pair to be cut from their stock of rough since these are not very often offered by default as you already know. And just fyu, this LINK] to two square baguette cuts. Hope this helps... Ana "The greatest experts are only as good as the sum total of what they have seen." [Souren Melikian]
