FAQs

Q: What is the difference between natural, synthetic, and treatment‑enhanced gemstones?
A: Natural gems are those formed in nature without human intervention. Synthetic stones are lab‑grown but have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as their natural counterparts. Treatment‑enhanced stones are natural gems that have been treated (heat‑treatment, irradiation, filling, coating etc.) to improve their appearance. We identify all these.

Q: Can you determine the origin of any gemstone?
A: Origin determination depends on the gem species and available scientific data. For some gems (like ruby, sapphire, emerald), certain inclusions, trace elements, growth patterns are indicative of certain regions. But origin reports are given only when scientifically justifiable.

Q: Is mounted jewelry harder to evaluate than loose stones?
A: Yes. Mounting can obstruct access to some surfaces, hide inclusions, or affect the way light interacts with the stone. We do our best, but some limitations exist when gems are set.

Q: How do I care for my gemstones after purchase or certification?
A: Every gemstone has its own care needs. Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners for certain stones (emerald, opal, etc.), avoid extreme heat, store separately to avoid scratching. We provide care guidelines with each report.

Q: Do you accept stones from outside Jharkhand / India?
A: Yes. As long as shipping is secure and legal, you can send your gems. We can also assist with export documentation if required.
