I find star sapphires very attractive but i worry about them holding their value as they seem a bit too specific to be very attractive to a buyer compared to a cornflower blue sapphire

Heat treatment is accepted in industry, but chemical beryllium heat treated that is a color enhancement is not accepted. There is a big difference between simple heat treatment and chemical color enhancement. I don't think that they are worth $200.00 and disagree that it is accepted treatment in industry. I agree with everything else including that the other sapphires were not bad prices and unheated rare and good prices

Shame shame please lead with Beryllium diffused and don’t say these are natural with a new heat treatment…. Didn’t JTV learn anything from the Andesine Labradorite lawsuit?
