I did not realize these stones were of jewelry quality. They are really beautiful, just not what I was expecting which was more of a natural stone.

I needed a very specific color of tourmaline and Gem Select had it. I had to get the client to agree and then ordered the stone. It arrived better than pictured and we all were very happy.
