Natural Does Not Always Mean Untreated
Understanding gemstone treatments is an important part of making an informed gemstone purchase.
Natural Gemstones
Natural gemstones are formed through geological processes in nature.
Treated Gemstones
Some natural gemstones undergo treatments to improve or alter their appearance.
Synthetic Gemstones
Synthetic gemstones are laboratory-grown materials with essentially the same chemical composition and crystal structure as their natural counterparts.
Imitation Gemstones
Imitation materials are designed to resemble another gemstone but have different material compositions.

| Category | Formation | What buyers should know |
|---|---|---|
| Natural Gemstones | Formed through geological processes in nature. | Ask whether any treatments have been disclosed. |
| Treated Gemstones | Natural gemstone material that has undergone treatment. | Treatments can affect appearance and should be disclosed. |
| Synthetic Gemstones | Grown in a laboratory rather than formed in nature. | Laboratory-grown origin is distinct from natural origin. |
| Imitation Gemstones | Made from a different material to resemble a gemstone. | Appearance alone does not establish gemstone identity. |
Understanding the difference between natural, treated, synthetic and imitation gemstones helps you make a more informed choice.
