Re: Mods please reply re Masoala Sapphire
When in doubt, make some research on line and then decide.What I found out: if a gem has a name like Masola etc than there are 99 per cent chances it's a heavily treated one with no value other than the fact you like it..

Totally agree.They sell only junk recently on auction and amazingly there are people who fell for it or just trolls who boost the prices.
