Are untreated gemstones suitable for engagement rings?

What makes rare untreated gems valuable for collectors?
Rare untreated gems for collectors, such as authentic untreated crystals and unheated and untreated stones, are prized for their natural appearance and limited availability. Their untouched state makes them highly desirable and a great investment.
How can I ensure the quality of loose untreated gemstones?

I have been buying gems for several years off and on and love their selection and great low prices. I started out wanting to get an example of each type of gem but after looking at all the types of gems and reading about them I realize it is almost impossible for me to do. It took me years just to read about them all. Gem Select is the best gem site you can find. For information or to buy. Steve M.

I did not realize these stones were of jewelry quality. They are really beautiful, just not what I was expecting which was more of a natural stone.

First time using this website. It was both exciting finding things in my price range and things Iam gonna save up for and use in other pieces. I love that the picture of the gem is the exact gem I'll be buying. I haven't tested the gems yes but they said they sold me 100% natural gems.
