Is the color of a treated gemstone permanent?
In most cases, treatments result in permanent coloring. However, where treatments such as dying, irradiation, or diffusion have not been applied correctly, the enhanced color may fade over time. In addition, ultra-sonic cleaning in gemstones that have been treated by colorless oil (e.g. emeralds) may result in substantial loss in color, as well as significant change in appearance.
