Question: Were can you go to get the gemstones made into jewelry?

 

Answer: Just about any jewelry store can set your gemstone into a custom piece of jewelry.  Prices may vary depending on policies, design piece, and the stone variety itself.

 

Question: How can you tell the difference between real and fake gemstones?

 

Answer: Some stones it's more obvious, while others are more difficult to tell, since both real and synthetic counterparts have similar optic properties and inclusions usually tell the difference.  It is easier to tell by using optic devices such as loupes, refractometers, for mineral specimens the hardness tests (it is a destructive test, so only do if committed). Over all it takes a good eye and knowledge to tell the difference.

 

Question: How long will it take to receive my package?

Answer: It will be shipped first class, within a couple business days anywhere in the USA.  In other countries it will take up to 7-11 business days depending on location.
