4th Dimension Gems and Jewelry

I am a lapidary artist with over 2 decades experience. Each of the stones I present here are 100% natural, and when cut, have been cut by me, and have undergone no treatments what-so-ever. I will not carry a stone that has been altered and do not farm out my work to cutting farms in the far east. If on the rare occasion, I ever offer a stone that has not been cut by myself, it will likely be from someone with the same ethics and attention to detail that I hold myself to. Similarly, if I ever do present a stone that has been treated, I will clearly point that out, the only stone I can think of that this may be is stabilized turquoise since it gets harder and harder to find the untreated material as they integrate the stabilization into their daily mining routine or tanzanite, since in most cases its color is derived from heat treating....check me out on: http://www.etsy.com/shop/4thDimensionGems https://twitter.com/4thDimensionGem https://www.pinterest.com/4thDimensionGem/
