Settlement in Andesine-Labradorite Suit

I can\'t believe that no one has even mentioned how they got rid of all of the Andesine/Labradorite after they found out that the stones were treated. They had a huge so called sale to get rid of their inventory and told everyone that it was a secret that they couldn\'t reveal until after the Olympics started. They told all of us that this stone was somehow, someway going to be used for the Olympics and the only thing they could tell us was to go the the web stie and type in Andesine/Labradorite Olympics 2006 or whatever the year was....That was the scam!!!! To get rid of all of their inventory...Don\'t you remember this scam? That is the ONLY thing that made me furious and still does!!!! They pretended that this was going to be the stone used on the medals or something like that. That was the biggest lie/scam that they did to me/us. How dare them for that!!!!! They should be sued for that alone!!!!!

I\'m not returning my stones. As I do with anything, I didn\'t go \'full throttle\' into buying them - just bought the ones that I liked and could easily afford with my disposable income. I bought them because I liked them - not because of any promises of getting rich on them someday - I think that\'s where people made mistakes (buying more than they could afford, thinking that they would sell them and make loads of money one day). We all know that commodities go up and down with demand. For instance, the prices of all gemstones are depressed right now. A new source for tanzanite could be discovered tomorrow for all we know - and then all of our tanzanite would drop in price... \'Speculating\' on something like gemstones, in my opinion, is never a good idea. A salesperson is a salesperson is a salesperson, and their job is to be enthusiastic about their product to persuade people to buy. As for the lawsuit - unfortunately, with class action lawsuits, lawyers make literally millions and millions of dollars, while the people in the \'class\' get minimal reimbursement. I\'m not a fan of any kind of class action suit if people aren\'t seriously harmed (bodily harm) - I believe that if JTV committed real, intentional wrongdoing, then \'what goes around, will come around\', and the wrongdoer will eventually suffer for their wrongdoing. I don\'t desire to punish them myself - that\'s the job of God, or the \'universe\', or \'creator\', or \'karma\', or whatever your belief is....

Randy I have to agree with you, but since this settlement has been reached and, most likely, cannot be changed, I guess we have to make a choice from the options made available. I, too, purchased many more than I would have, thinking they were much more valuable than they are; taking a risk. It did not pay off, but some of the stones are beautiful, i.e. the really cherry red ones and the color \"shift\" green ones. I have decided to return the stones that are not cherry red (and more pink/brown in color) and the green ones that do not \"shift\" as well as the others. That way, I will still be able to keep the most \"appealing\" stones (they may still be of more value some day if for no other reason than this controversy), and I do really like the \"true-colored\" stones, and still receive a credit that I can use for more collecting of some other stones that I have not yet been able to afford. I am choosing the cash refund with possible store credit option. Good luck.
