I have found a seller on eBay from Thailand that will certify any stone that I buy without batting an eyelash. Thaigemstore has been great. They have never misrepresented any stone that I have purchased from them every stone that I have purchased from them has been better than what has been represented on the computer screen. I lucked out by having a close friend that has her GIA certification and checked out some of the stones that I purchased from them and she said that I hit the jackpot! I am studying now to get certified but have to wait due to problems with my neck causing migraines. I can not depend on my friend to certify all of my rubies and sapphires but so far I am doing quite well with the unheated untreated stones.
All the best of luck in your endeavors.
