I do think there is a pretty good chance yours is dyed using sugar solution followed by sulphuric acid method. It looks like the solution started to seep into the crystal along the edges where it meets the black.


George,

That is very interesting. When artificially dyed in this way, how deep does the colour go? I am assuming it does not sink much beyond the surface.
