See, for costume jewelry I have no problem with treatments.
Here's an interesting interview, he's a lot more forthcoming about the possibility of it being white beryl, and GIA gives their 2 cents:

LMAO at that article. They have it displayed like its something valuable, and its not. The faceting on it is ridiculous as the stone has very poor luster, and it isn't transparent, or even translucent to my eye. What a joke, and I feel sorry for the poor bloke that is going to buy that thinking he got some gem.
Even the comments in that article are hilarious, and show that laypeople know he difference between a nice gem, and that monstrosity.
