Great video Matt and must agree on imperfections. The only thing that's perfect in this entire life is death and your idea of including them is indeed a stroke of genius as markets being flooded with MADE JUNK is atrociuos. All the best as always to you and Connie and happy trails-respect-John

Thanks John, and you're right about the junk. It has gotten so bad that gold/silver rings going into these gold buyer places is being smashed with the stones on them as they don't take the time to test anymore (just assume it is fake). Since the development of moissanite, the old diamond testers don't work anyway unless they have that additional test and once they do, the Chinese (or Russians) will probably just add another ingredient. They're even faking amethyst now (one of the most abundant gems there is). The Chinese have experimented with putting bubbles in synthetic diamonds so they are attempting to fake even flawed stones - time will tell if they can do enough to ruin even the specimen market. The world is really after us (in everything) and are destroying every market we have it seems.
