Top quality gems with no visible fingerprints or color zoneing tend to be eye-clean gems which make them highly desired gems on the market.

Unfortunately, however, various treatments such as heat treatments, glass filling with cobalt and lattice diffusion may still take place within the gemstone industry and must be disclosed clearly upon purchase to allow customers to make an informed decision as to the originality and quality of neelam stones purchased.
