-Natural gemstones that have been treated must include "Treated" in the Item Specifics and description of your listing.
Specify clearly in the title that the gem is treated- "treated - Coated - I think if left untreated these same beads would be just as red but they would have large pore holes and be rough to the touch. -I think that if you break them that they are red inside."
-Select the treatment type in the item specifics - "coated"
-Include the following treatment details in the description:
-Treatment type -"coated"
-Disclose that the treatment is not permanent and loses its effect over time- "Coating may flake or discolor in sunlight over time, if bleached or left in the sun."
-Disclose that the treatment has a significant effect on the gemstone's value - "Coating may increase the value - as it polishes more smoothly."
-Describe any special care requirements for the gemstone to retain the benefits - "Keep all kinds of coral away from harsh chemicals and keep coated apple / sponge coral out of the sun for long periods of time."
