5 out of 5 starsOutstanding lunar meteorite slice. The breccia structure, translucency, and overall presentation are consistent with high‑quality NWA lunar material. Weight and measurements match expected density for lunar basalt. Seller provided accurate descriptions, secure packaging, and excellent communication. Highly recommended I will be a returning customer. i look forward to working more together :D

5 out of 5 starsI can’t believe I’m holding this. My Kashmir sapphire absolutely glows exactly like the seller described. The color, the energy, everything about it is perfect. I’m genuinely blown away. This is one of the happiest purchases I’ve ever made, and I’m already planning to buy from this seller again. Thank you for making me one very happy returning customer

I have been dealing gemstones and diamonds for more than 20 years and test my gems with standard gemological equipment included a gemological refractometer. If you would like a lab report for a stone, I have accounts with the GIA, AGL, and EGL and can facilitate getting a report for a stone. The cost is approx. $200 per stone (pearls and pearl strands are considerably more, please message me for details/quote), which includes shipping to and from the lab, the lab report, and then shipping to you. Lab reports are non-refundable. Turnaround time is 6 to 8 weeks.
