Cleaned being the past tense of clean, the action is identical, just referring to the condition, regardless of when it occurred. Does something of value (i.e. &quot;Gem&quot;) change when the inner beauty is exposed? I pose that the recipient determines value, and may find the condition to be an improvement, making a &quot;Gem&quot; of increased value. The point is: Alterations such as being &quot;cleaned&quot; may not reduce value to the beholder, regardless of that stated by another observer, as has been established for shipwreck &quot;treasure&quot;. A &quot;Gem&quot; may always be that, as I tell my significant other, regardless of others </b><b>&quot;altered state&quot; </b><b>acceptance. Thanks for your clarification&nbsp; of definition.&nbsp;&nbsp; </b><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
