Comment:	What a contrast! Nature has such a sense of humor sometimes :) A great collector's gem.
Treatments: none* *However, most gemologists confer that it is safer and more honest to presume that a gem these days has been treated in some way, rather to say that it has not. This could mean anything from oil to radiation - and given that even some of these practices occur even in the rough at the mine, it really is probably better to assume some kind of enhancement could have taken place. Having said that, I have some stock that, because of its species, is never enhanced or treated - and so typically with those gems it would be a fairly safe to say otherwise. However, for the purpose of propriety I have to say 'treated' unless proven.

Wait until you have finished bidding and pay through the checkout which will combine for you automatically.

This is not an automatic adjustment and needs you to email your request through to us - and we will do what is possible.

What can I do if my parcel has not arrived?
Firstly, please do email us directly - or telephone (613) 90105077 or 0404308888.

Computers and human error do occur from time to time - but we will do our very best to attend to a matter if we are told there is a problem.

We truly appreciate your custom and will do everything we can to look after you as well as your consignments!

Can I return my item for any reason?
Yes, in the unlikely event that you wish to return your item you have 14 days to notify us.

We do not receive returns after that period expires.

All returns are subject to inspection that we can ensure that they are in the same condition as originally dispatched.

We value your custom and can be contacted between the hours of 7.00am-7.00pm (Melb. time) via email, phone (613-90105077) or

Multiple purchases can be packaged together and shipped for the one combined cost within a 7 day period. Wait until you have finished bidding and pay through the checkout which will combine for you automatically. If you have paid separately for gems through the checkout you can request a refund in postage if your items have not be shipped prior. This is not an automatic adjustment and needs you to email your request through to us - and we will do what is possible.

You may also request that parcels (once paid for) are held over for further combining. Once we know of your intention we can do this and invoice you separately in consideration of the postage already paid. Many of our collectors and jewelers do this.

Feedback is very important to us and we ask that you do contact us before leaving any neutral or neg. comments if for some reason you are unhappy. We will do our very best to continue offering accurate descriptions of our items - and yet, photographs, monitor calibrations, and expectations, can of course be problematic with remote buying. In the main, our valued Collectors, Investors, Jewelers, Designers and On-sellers have come to rely on a standard of service that is sincere - and please know that we welcome your comments, concerns and communications at all times.

We thank you for your custom and strive to continue to supply gems of rarity, beauty, quality and desirability.
