Disclaimer: Gemstone identification is based on visual assessment only, considering colour, pattern, translucency, lustre and other observable characteristics. Stones have not been laboratory tested unless explicitly stated. Whilst every effort has been made to identify each gemstone accurately, identification should be considered our best professional opinion rather than a certified mineralogical determination. Natural gemstones vary in colour, pattern and inclusions, making every piece unique. Metaphysical properties are based on traditional beliefs and are not scientifically proven.
