Custom Faceting from Your Rough

*Note*  Not all Rough is suitable for Faceting.  However if there is a "clear/cleaner" section a Faceted Stone may be recovered through cutting.  Not All inclusions prohibit the faceting of a Gemstone, and are often excepted as with Emeralds, Rubies, and many others. Any Rough Crystalline material may be submitted for evaluation prior to cutting.  If the submitted Rough material is found Not to be a suitable candidate, or unacceptable for Faceting, you the owner will only be responsible for the return shipping expense to your address.

Contact John for instructions on sending your rough to be evaluated.

* Please if you would be kind enough to include your phone number in  email inquiries, it would help me.  Often, It is much better for me to call you to discuss your question or project so we are both precisely clear on what is asked for and expected.  *

Thank You!
