Beautiful Hand-cut Natural Stones

OK - I get to claim this one!!  I layed the template - cut the stone, and did all of the polishing!  This is the one that took the fingernails on my right hand, lol (Just 3, and they grew back).  I was working it at Easter time, and I think it ended up looking like a brightly colored Easter Egg - don't you??  This is the FIRST STONE I did all by myself!

Size:   37 x 28 x 7mm

Comments:   Like I said, this is the first stone I did all on my own.  I am very proud of it and think it is beautiful!  The colors and patterns are amazing!!

Thanks so much and Happy Bidding!

TREATED VS NATURAL:  Most gem experts agree that it is safer and more honest to assume that a gemstone these days has been treated in some way rather to presume that it hasn't..  Treated can mean anything from water or oil to irradiation and heat.  Given that some of this occurs before some stones ever leave the mine, I think it is better to assume that some kind of enhancement may have taken place.  I try desperately to purchase natural, untreated stones and minerals, and shop at reputable dealers who assure me of such.  But ultimately, it comes to to having to believe what someone else tells you. Thanks, Connie
