No. The range includes both natural gemstones and lines specifically described as treated, including coloured agate, Dalmatian stone and crackle quartz. Retailers should use the description of the individual product rather than presenting the entire family as untreated natural stone.

No. Where a product is sold by weight, the number of pieces can vary because natural stones differ in size, shape and density. Any piece count shown as approximate should be treated as a guide rather than a guaranteed quantity.

Cleaning depends on the particular gemstone and whether it has been treated. For general retail care, start gently with a soft cloth or brush. Heat, solvents, steam and ultrasonic cleaning can damage certain gemstones and treatments.

Clear jars, shallow bowls or divided trays work well because customers can see the colour and texture without the stones becoming mixed together. Keep each gemstone clearly labelled, particularly where treated and untreated stones may look similar, and avoid overfilling containers so the display stays tidy and easy to shop.
