Hard to show the colour without light from the other side

Aquamarine vast majority 1.5 carat plus alot above 3 carat when heated should improve colour and increase price by alot, pictures dont do these justice.

Zircon this gem seems to be up and coming and I have what seems to be colours ranging from champagne, red and orange and brown, I done a test heating a sample and the colours improved alot nice reds and I believe there may be blues when heated but never got around to doing it properly just used a stove to test. Heating zircon is the practised in the gemtrade and increases price especially when blues emerge.
Most of these are above 5 carat each and alot of monsters 12 carat plus, pictures don not do justice to these
