Earlier this week, lucerene, the Switzerland based Gubelin Gem Laboratory had sent an email alerting that they had in their possession a stone that can be described as suspected forgery. This news spread rapidly until an action was taken.

This alert made by the European Laboratory about the suspected forged stone and hence counterfeit GIA report led to the news spread across europe in no time. Myjewelpack was informed about this just towards the end of the week. Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is investingating two cases which involves stone forgery.

Further into investigation, it was found that this stone under scrutiny was found to exceed 2 carats and has good cut grade, D color and IF clarity. This gives indications that it underwent huge pressure and treatment.

But the reports from GIA do not show any of such treatment done on the stone. According to Gubelin, there is no information in the report that suggests this. Gubelin suspects that the report is fake, taking into consideration its contents and look.

Myjewelpack recieved further reports from GIA who confirmed that two Valid reports seem to be fake, forged in order to make the would be buyer believe something else. Calsbad, a california based Lab is investigating behind the scenes to obtain more information.

GIA also re-iterated that it spends huge amount of money and time in investigating and bringing out forged cases thus eliminating the possibility of any crimes involved in stone trading. They also added that anyone who comes to know about such crimes need to intimate the authorities immediately.
