Important Information About Our Gems, Minerals & Fossils
About Our Specimens
All items and gem names are described as accurately as we believe. Please note that many specimens are from our private collection and may be eye-identified rather than gem-tested. While we endeavour to be as honest and accurate as possible, occasional human error may occur in identifying the correct mineral, and we cannot be held accountable for this. We always encourage you to review the images carefully before purchasing.
All photographs are original to the actual item. Any defects or concerns will be clearly noted in the description or shown in the images.
About Our Fossils

The fossils in our collection have been professionally assessed and the recommended titles have been used to the best of our knowledge.

He attended all of the major world gem and mineral shows, bringing back only pieces that were truly special. Many of the treasures in our collection come from this beautiful legacy.
