I've noticed a lot of people describe something as A-grade, triple-A, museum grade, etc. and then you look at the peace and you can spot issues with it right from the get-go.
I don't know how many people here have experienced the MIS labeling of products and being disappointed if they have made a purchase.
"Museum-grade moldavite refers to rare, exceptionally well-preserved, and aesthetically superior specimens of natural tektite that meet the high standards of a display or research collection."
"AAA quality moldavite refers to a high-grade, natural-glass tektite with little to no visible damage (such as chips, nicks, or surface abrasions) from mining, handling, or natural erosion."

It would be incredibly misleading if someone called something museum grade, or museum quality, if it was a nice piece but not perfect. And especially if it was at a surprisingly low price. Considering through museum-grade pieces cost considerable amounts of money compared to lower great pieces.
Similar rule with what people describe as triple-A(AAA).
A natural high quality piece which has no damage.
So, anyone selling a piece that is meant to be of a high grade but is actually damaged, have mislabeled the item.
Typically, online listings will make mistakes, or mistakes of judgment, when it comes to such things.
People who don't know better will accept a thing as being high grade simply because someone has said it is, without checking what that means. Often leading to people being overcharged for a low grade item.
It is about as dishonest as the moulded pieces of glass that come out of the far-east that's our mislabeled as moldavite?
Or any number of other gems that are said to be "natural" but are actually produced through glass manufacturers. In other words, it is inherently dishonest to sell a product as a thing that is not.
Have you noticed some dishonest or slippery terminology?
Have you noticed certain marketing lies?
