Are the pictures shown the actual piece I'm buying or just a stock photo?

If you see a photo of an item, that is the actual item you will receive upon purchasing. We do not use stock photos! We try to capture an accurate representation of the color of each piece. Although your device's screen may change the color/shade slightly, we guarantee they will look even more fabulous in person because pictures can only do these beauties so much justice :)

Why Does My Crystal/Jewelry/Fossil Have Cracks and Imperfections?

Just like humans, no stone is perfect. It is very common to have natural cracks, imperfections, etc. in stones and fossils. This does not mean that the item is damaged or something is “wrong” with it. Internal fractures happen in crystals all the time. Remember these specimens have undergone intense pressure inside the earth over thousands or millions of years. Many times these imperfections give the stone more character, just like us!

I saw an item listed for X price on your website and now it's Y price....what gives?

The value of mineral and fossil specimens can drastically increase over time due to the rarity of items from limited supplies of materials, mines closing, etc. Just as they will appreciate in value for your personal collection, the items we offer also can appreciate in value over time. We reserve the right to alter pricing at any time.
