Regarding Natural Stone 

As stones are a natural material no two pieces are the same. Unless otherwise noted the pictures shown will be the exact item/s you will receive. It is normal for stones to at times have voids, natural cracking, druzy pockets and a variety of inclusions or host rock. Each item will have all of these described and photographed and each piece is quality checked before shipping. Any defects, weakness points or breakage will be noted in clearance or discounted items. 

I do my best with my albeit limited skill and equipment to provide clear photos and video of every piece and am more than happy to take additional images on request. Colours may appear different depending on lighting and screen use.
