GEMSTONE CARE
All of our gemstones are authentically sourced, natural stones. I handpick each of the gems from gem shows in Tucson, AZ and Bloomington, MN to ensure I am using gemstones that are not only beautiful, but the best quality.
Since all of our gemstones are authentically sourced, these pieces should not be worn to bed as the oils from your skin can damage the gemstone and it's natural properties.
