Buyer intelligence
Fine material shows a strong green-to-red color change. Most fashioned stones are under 1 ct; fine stones above 5 ct are exceptionally expensive. A lab report is sensible for an important purchase.
Care
Durable enough for jewelry; warm soapy water is safe. Fracture-filled stones need gentler care.
BARADAK uses summarized gemological information and links to technical sources; commercial ranges do not replace a laboratory report or formal appraisal.
