Each stone is guaranteed to be authentic, and any treatments that are applied to the stones are clearly disclosed. The most common treatment is the use of colorless oil. This oil enters any cracks or holes in the stone and makes them disappear. This improves the clarity of the stone while also enhancing the color. It is safe to assume that all Emeralds have been treated using this method. However, we offer some untreated natural emeralds in our stock.
