"Bluff" is a term dealers in colored stones and diamonds use to indicate a stone can trick you into thinking it is a better one than it really is. Therefore the price seems low initially and once you come to your senses you realize why the price seemed so low... basically you get what you pay for.

Bluff stones can be fun and may even be pretty. They are not usually very good ones. The prices can be all over the place because they are more unusual than just regular, can't fool the eye, type stones.

The lab report means nothing on bluff material. Low quality is low quality regardless of what lab put their seal on it.
