N2 - The application of various treatments to enhance the quality and attractiveness of gems has a long history. These days, however, such enhancements are not limited to natural stones. Treatments are increasingly being applied to synthetics, either to create desired properties not produced by synthesis alone or to give the sample a more natural appearance. Some prime examples are synthetic star rubies and sapphires that are produced by a factory in Bangkok, Thailand, through titanium diffusion followed by heating and slow cooling (Wanthanachaisaeng et al. 2022).
