An untreated sapphire is a "natural" sapphire, meaning it was created by nature not in a laboratory AND has not undergone any heating or chemical treatment.

The highest quality and most desirable Sapphires are those that originate in India, Myanmar (Burma), and Sri Lanka (Ceylon). Sapphires from India and Myanmar (Burma), are highly prized for their pure blue colors and stones from these regions are priced accordingly, often at collectors prices.

Treating and heating a stone significantly changes the original appearance (and therefore, value) of the rough crystal. Special gas furnaces heat the stones for a period of 3-10 days, at or above the melting point of the crystal (1800° C). Additives such as glass or coloring agents can be included during heating in order to fill natural cavities and cracks in the sapphires. The coloring agents are then diffused throughout the crystal, altering the sapphire's color completely.
