The Azotic® treatment of Surface Enhanced Designer Gemstones™ provide a permanent and durable treatment*, providing designers with an infinite prismatic array of colors to choose from. Before purchasing, please review the care of Designer Enhanced Gemstones sheet and the Mystic Topaz® Care Guide.
The quality of the gemstone (clarity), the faceting (brilliance), and the polishing (shine) are equally important as the enhancement process. The distributor provides Azotic LLC with the substrate material (topaz, quartz, or CZ) for enhancement. The enhancement process is dependent on the selection of quality substrate materials.
Please contact Azotic LLC for distributor information.
U.S.A. Patent No. 5,853,826 provides Azotic LLC protection from counterfeit gemstones produced or sold in the United States. The consumer may end up receiving a cheaper, non-permanent, poor quality counterfeit gemstone. Azotic LLC has received numerous samples from unsatisfied customers of products that lose color when exposed to sunlight or when wiped with alcohol. Counterfeit reproductions of the Azotic® Designer Gemstones are being manufactured overseas and illegally imported into the US. These counterfeit gemstones may be cheaper but so is the quality.
