Gemstones in online stores Fire opal play-of-color Mexico

***
Those interested in gemstones should remember that online stores are full of outright scammers, where the item for sale is often completely different from what is described in the description. Even in Finnish markets, barely gem-quality stone, mostly translucent due to inclusions and cracks, is constantly being sold as "eye-clean" stone, "Top10", "+++ quality", "best color, top quality" etc. with meaningless and misleading descriptions. Stones from which an expert can immediately see even from bad pictures that the stone may not even be classifiable, due to poor quality/color/grinding, etc. Not to mention the imitations and synthetic stones that are sold as genuine natural stones, either out of ignorance or pure fraud.

Always require the opinion of a qualified expert or a certificate from a respected and known reliable entity for the stone you buy. Only then can you be sure that you will get what you order. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is arguably the most respected player in the industry, and the developer of many grading standards. With the expertise of GIA or a GIA-certified gemmologist, you ensure that the stone is what is claimed. A mere "warranty certificate" or "certificate" presented by the seller does not say anything, because anyone can write a note, or even print a nice plastic card called a "certificate", but which has no value when determining the quality and authenticity of the stone. Or selling stone.

Light/bright spots that may appear in the pictures are usually internal and external light reflections.
