5 out of 5 starsAmazing fluorescent opal, very rare! I love it! Lari is always super-fast mailing my orders and answers all of my questions. Definitely one of my favorite Etsy sellers. Great quality and truly natural stones. An additional pretty opal was included in the package as a gift. Looking forward to doing business with her again.

5 out of 5 starsSuper-fast delivery. The two Carnelian cabs have amazing colors. 100% Natural and as described. I love the detailed and curated descriptions Lari includes in each of their listings. Perfect for a mineral collector interested in scientific facts like mineral composition, specimen's origin and presence/absence of any 'enhancement' rather than fancy mystical 'properties' and such. Exceptional communication with Lari, always quick to answer any question. A wonderful Topaz crystal was included in the package as a gift! Wonderful! Thank you! I would absolutely recommend this seller.

It all starts out by slicing (slabbing) the rough rock, thus giving a flat area to mark with the desired shapes. -
The marked areas are ground to shape and size with diamond wheels and laps in preparation for the next step..the dops. -
Once the blanks are epoxied to the dop sticks they are able to be easily hanldled, while the tops are ground and shaped. -
4 different grinding wheels (each finer than the previous) further smooth the cabochons, they are now ready for polish. -
Quick glimpse of the grinding and shaping work station.
Specializing in high quality cabochon and faceted gemstone pairs for the artisan and collector. Special orders are welcome!

We would much prefer you contact us asap if you change your mind about a reserved item to give others a chance to purchase it.
