Tomalin, when subjected to a heat treatment method using a specialized coconut shell charcoal burner at a low temperature (100 celsius), Green Gem could be obtained ( resembles an emerald) .The bond structure of this gemstone is not affected. This method is based on electrons absorbing energy from the Sunlight to jump to higher electron levels, thus causing a color change.
