Know what you are buying

Material & disclosure

Trust begins with precise language. Here is what we currently know about Collection 01, and where that knowledge comes from.

Cabochons and rough turquoise specimen

Origin & treatment

Every stone in Collection 01 comes from Zhushan, Hubei, China, and was selected through our local supplier network.

The miners and suppliers who handled the material identify these cabochons as natural Zhushan turquoise, cut and polished directly from the rough. They represent the stones as untreated—without stabilization, impregnation, dye, or other enhancement.

Testing & documentation

Untreated natural turquoise is the standard we seek and the material we intend to offer. Not every stone has been independently laboratory tested, so treatment information is based on information provided by our suppliers. Video inspection or independent laboratory testing can be arranged upon request. Any laboratory report available for an individual stone will be clearly shown with its listing.

Individual character

Natural matrix, pits, color variation, polishing traces, and irregular backs are characteristics of each unique stone. Every cabochon is individually photographed from the front and reverse; additional daylight video is available on request.

Purchase details

Each stone is identified by its own inventory number. Exact dimensions, weight, condition notes, price, shipping, and applicable taxes are confirmed before payment.
