@@w3vjp568 I am really not sure. If the stone doesn’t have major inclusions and you’re careful it should be ok. You never can guarantee anything though.
I had it sitting unsold for a few years before I decided to do this. In ambient light it was just a bit too dark. After heating it sold within 6 months.
@@JustinKPrim dang, alright XD, I guess in some of the shots it did look quite dark. Are there other stones that can be heat treated using a stove like this or do most require more specialized setups?
@@mr.treefrog5789 as far as I know you can only do zircons like this. Other stones need to be much hotter and need insulation and sometimes an oxygen reduced environment.
I liked the before color better also.
What’s the percentage of stones that don’t survive this process?
