7. Any mounted gemstone: testing required as mounting permits, weight and measurement of the gemstone as per the client claims or approximate, the details of the metal is mentioned as per the hallmark stamped on it.
8. Any comments on treatment and origin of the gemstone are an opinion of CGTL given when conclusion can be drawn from approved gemological testing and by referring to available literature.
9. Any corundum where no evidence of heat treatment is detected ,it will be noted in a comment section with “no indication of heating or(NTE)”
10. Any corundum where evidence of heat treatment is detected ,it will be noted in a comment section with “ indication of heating or(TE)”
11. Any corundum that shows indications of having undergone heat treatment and degree of healing along(previous) fracture which also contain a residue( s) from the heating process ,shall be noted in the comment section as follows: “indication of heating with minor(TE1/TE2)/moderate(TE3/TE4)significant(TE5) residue in healed fissures”
12. Any corundum that shows indications of having undergone heat treatment and the presence of vitreous residue in cavity (s) ,shall be noted in the comment section as follows: “indication of heating with minor(CE1)/moderate(CE2)significant[CE3] residue in cavities.
13. Any corundum that shows indications of having undergone heat treatment accompanied by a lattice diffusion of chemical element{s} from an external source will be described as: indications of heating, shallow color modified by lattice diffusion of chemical elements from external source.
14. Detection of lattice diffusion by light elements such as beryllium require further testing with sophisticated equipment such as{ LIBS & LA ICP MS } which are not currently utilized in CGTL.
15. Any corundum that shows indications of having undergone clarity enchantment by glass filler in the fissure shall be noted in the comment section as follows: “indication of heating with minor (f1)/moderate (f2) significant (f3) clarity enhancement by a glass filler in the fissure. Heavily fractured corundum infused with glass will be as: manufactured product/composite ruby or (variety of corundum.
16. Gemstones are routinely heat treated or irradiated, many of these treatments cannot be detected, and this usually applies to Beryl, Garnet, Quartz, spodumene, Topaz, Tourmaline, Zircon, zoisite and other gemstones.
17. The results stated in this report are by no means a guarantee, or a statement and assessment of monetary value.
