Buyer intelligence
Pure vivid red to slightly purplish red with strong saturation is preferred. Origin alone does not guarantee quality; treatment disclosure is essential for pricing.
Care
Very hard, but fractures and fillings affect durability. Cleaning method should reflect treatment condition.
BARADAK uses summarized gemological information and links to technical sources; commercial ranges do not replace a laboratory report or formal appraisal.
