I am sure this has been covered on here some where but I am having trouble with the search function. Anyway. The hunt for a stone for my GFs e ring has made me fall in love with colored stones. I love looking at them. I thought it would be cool to start a collection of colored stones and display them so I could look at them. Let me makethis clear I am not doing this for intrinsic value or as an investment. I just want to collect some faceted gems to display. I have looked at ebay and verious dealers and I have seen lots of stones that are very cheap and i expect that they are not what they are advertised as at least on ebay. I do want natural stones but I am not concerned about them being heat treated. I am not sure if it is an issue if they are even diffused as I am really just interested in the beauty of the stone. So how does one go about finding stones that are not too expensive but are still natural and a pleasent to look at.
