Do deep surface-diffusion treated sapphires (DSDTCs) represent gem treatment nirvana? Or are they just the Disneyland representation of the place? The original Linde patents claimed a maximum penetration of 0.50 mm, while the deepest penetration measured on the D-SDTCs is 0.40 mm. In all other respects they resemble the Linde material. So, gentle readers, this is what I say: "No way, Ray!"
But this does beg the question of why deep diffusion has created such a furor in Bangkok when the earlier activities by Thai burners raised not even a ripple. Good question. Mighty good question. It just may have something to do with the fact that the profit from the earlier doings went to local traders, while those of today go to heathens from out of town. Or maybe (and hopefully) people have finally realized that the gem-treatment genie, once out of the bottle, is a bit difficult to contain.
