Furnace popular for heating corundum in Sri lanka

Yellow sapphire of poor quality with cloudy and pale / almost colorless appearance is subjected to high temperature to enhance color as well as clarity. It is practically cooked in a furnace at a temperatures between 1000-1400 degrees centigrade! And with the advent of Beryllium treatment it has become easy to impart a rich color of choice (you could jolly well choose to have a rich lemon yellow or even make a padparadscha out of a gem ore)!

Please insist on certification before buying a natural gemstone. A natural gemstone with rich color, if available at a price too good to be true surely spells an undisclosed treatment or even genuineness.
