Hello all,
Can someone please explain to me how GIA looks at fluorescence? I have a GIA cert for my stone that lists the fluoresence as NONE. However, I took the stone to a gemologist/appraiser and she said that the stone is exhibits slight fluorescence and that she must note this on the GemPrint. She said that the GIA lists it as NONE because it does not affect the value/clarity of the stone. Is this true? Can a stone exhibit fluorescence but be listed as having NONE because the GIA folks think it has no effect on the stone?
Thanks!
