With the heating process, the glass fills in the fissures and blemishes on the stone's surface. It smoothens the appearance and improves the color. It is not detectable by the naked eyes. With proper equipment and training, a gemologist can detect this treatment.

It will remain stable and permanent under routine care. Heating can also eliminate the silk inclusions, making it more transparent.
