Radiation treatment is similar to heat treatment in the sense that it is used to alter and enhance the color of gems.

For example, most blue topaz on the market has been radiation treated to change the color from white to blue. This treatment brings out the brilliant coloring we have come to love and even expect from topaz.

When improperly handled and treated, gems will often have a slight residual effect from the radiation treatment. Imported stones, however, pass through very strict requirements and inspections to ensure quality and safety to the public.

Radiation is just one of the treatments used on gemstones to create richer coloring and better quality stones than are available naturally. It is perfectly safe when done following strict laws and processes and can create beautiful results.
