Badly cut Gem Stone

Stone 1:  A 8 mm Round overseas commercial cut stone. Reported to be a Diamond, in fact it is a Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG).  Diamond Substitute. I think you can see why I was asked to replace it ( You get what you Pay for ). This is the worst stone I have ever seen sold from a Jeweller in Australia. (NOT happy Jan) was the comment from my customer.

Stone 2: A 6 mm Round Amethyst overseas commercial cut stone, Comments from customer All ways dull and lifeless,
