Absolutely love the website, selection and products. Can you guys add a gemstones with inclusions tab. I like those it'd be nice to have them all in one place but i do understand it would be alot of work to go through and categorize them. Thank you anyways

The citrine gems are beautiful. I appreciated that each stone was individually shown on the website so I could see exactly what I was getting. No mystery person selecting random stones for me. The documentation included with each gem was high quality as well. Great price and arrived as expected.
