3.8.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 1343- this piece came from a collector who is downsizing, I reached out and was told the specimen was purchased in Asia more than 15 years ago, he purchased it as natural, our gemologist examined the piece and observed that the specimen does exhibit typical treatment with polymer filler in noted fractures, however, she could not say if it is natural or dyed, she did relay that natural untreated turquoise changes and exhibits color variation, I am sorry, I am unable to say if the piece has been dyed, as I am not an expert on such items, I have taken numerous images for your review<br><br>Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
