Thailand Institute Denies Caving In over Sapphire Treatment.
Byline: Somporn Thapanachai
Jun. 6--The Gem and Jewellery Institute of Thailand has defended itself against allegations by traders in precious stones that it has jeopardised the country's interests by yielding to American laboratories in a dispute over the properties of orange-pink sapphires.
Traders complained that by accepting a new classification system of nine categories of gem types, instead of the existing three -- natural, enhanced and treated -- the institute had destroyed the market for orange-pink sapphires.
They said Thai orange-pink sapphires were likely to fall into the diffusion category, a practice unacceptable in gem trading.
