Astra Gems

More often than not our customers ask us that question. The truth of the matter is that there are many gemstones that are similar in appearance. Professionals SHOULD NOT give their opinion without first checking out stones with equipment such as Dichroscopes, Refractometers, and a number of other gemological tools of their trade. Because of experience handling stones, often we can give a reasonable answer to that question, which we double-check with our equipment. That takes a lot of time for each stone. It is expensive. Below following you will find  parcels of gemstones sold by the lot. We can do that because not every stone is tested for what it is - even though they are ALL GENUINE gemstones. Stones in this section are identical to the stones in the lots below but which are offered individually on the same basis - at random. For this reason we can offer these stones at a greatly reduced price. Shipping and Handling cost is added.

Generally for 98 % of items listed on our web-sites we pay all shipping and handling. Because this item is at such a low cost, we MUST add that expense for everyones benefit. Also, each ten stone order sold out of this section, for protection, will be shipped to you in an acrylic gem-tub.

Go ahead, buy this gem-stone. It's a real good deal. You'll be pleased and come back for more of these excellent Gem-Stones - That we guarantee are all in excess of the stated price value.

Multiple stone purchases will get all different stones at random - unless you e-mail us with your specific request. Purchase of 10 stones or more will receive a rebate with order of full S&H cost.
